Multi-Touch Screens...The Future Is Here!
Of course, the "future" is likely too expensive for most of us, but here's a new investment goal, at least!

Minory Report here we come. Very nice. That'd be a blast of a project.
It's always been sad how our computer hands become a set of slow, overworked, 2D switches. Given the right sensors and feedback they can express so much more.

Have a think about how this would impact the computing world - all our software based around one input (ie, everything except some multiple-axis games) would need redesigning to benefit. Certainly a massive undertaking. I've got high hopes, though.
