Here's another company on that train.
Watching the demo a few times makes be pretty negative. It is the same
thing over and over and over again, with different subjects.
- Zoom in
- Zoom out
- Rotate
- Move
They've re-invented the mouse, only it is way more expensive, and just
slightly more ergonomic (once you've learned the gestural syntax).
One thing you see very little of is... words. The things we spend 95% of
our time working with on our computers.
There's perhaps a few niche uses that are going to find this hugely
helpful, both in terms of the large format and the somewhat cleaner
interface to the data, but I don't see a revolution necessarily in the
offing.

This looks like it could be some pretty cool technology:

It's a preview and demo of Micorsoft's "Surface Computing" interface and
it looks like it's step in the right direction. Of course, they don't
talk about how accessible the interface will be, but the concept looks
good to me!
The only thing better would be a 3D holographic interface, but I imagine
that's coming too someday soon.
