True. I think I need to watch it again :-), I think I missed quite a
lot of the subtlety in the table. I watched the film in German, so my
mind was already occupied with translation (they dub everything here).
But it was almost certainly comped afterwards, which means they could
perfectly place and time everything...

Yeah, I would disagree with this. It wasn't just pushing items
around. if that were the case it would be really uninteresting to
watch. It was that plus automatic contextual information suiting
the conversation that was taking place, unfolding and collapsing in
a way that was perfectly laid out for two people sitting apparently
random locations at a long table and kept everything within reach
without extra shifting around or scrolling.
or maybe it was just a very good powerpoint presentation by a junior
member of MI6 on a surface table. :-)
Very much of a movie UI, and probably not realistically something
one will see anytime soon outside of a movie, but interesting to
consider how it might become a reality.

he Bond UI was really a Surface or any other multi-touch table. In
that context of discussing information together I could see it
being useful, though the UI itself was rather over-egged (for film,
of course). You still have to slide documents over to the other
side of the table for the person to see, it's just that they are
more flexible and digital, which is an advantage to loads of paper
(tagging, resizing, extra layers of info, etc., etc.).
