Wow, very nice!

Some of the stuff in the video strikes me it could almost as easily have been done with a mouse or pen, with the clever stuff being in the software (eg. the lava lamp thing they were pulling around), although as they were clearly just mucking about to give a feel of how it works, that's not a criticism as such.

Where it came into its own though, I think, was the moving around and resizing of the photos, and to a lesser degree the zooming about on the map and aerial photos of Boston.

Want!

The thing to note, I feel, are the gestures being used (pinch, pull-apart, catapult etc) - as they're the key.

Easily transferrable to a data glove.

Very cool - certainly make my life easier manipulating photographs. Also I think my friends at http://www.inside-us-all.com/ would make very good use of precisely that kind of 'pulling around' (see in particular their live visuals :)

I want one coupled to a sunset and cloud control system :)

Some of the stuff at Jefferson Y. Han's site is also reasonably hoopy...
