Today Microsoft released Microsoft Suface. I saw this technology demonstrated by Jeff Han in September 2006 and since then I have wanted this technology.
While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops.
Give me this technology in a 42″ desktop surface running Mac OS X and I would be quite content (for a while).
