Larry Page's keynote at CES this year (see <a href="http://www.podtech.net" rel="nofollow">www.podtech.net</a>) talks about dedicated screens. He believes there should be a standard for all screens so that you can plug them into any device, so if you bought a fancy screen you could have a nice interface on just about anything. Worth a listen. Another related item… Larry Page’s keynote at CES this year (see http://www.podtech.net) talks about dedicated screens.

Similar results can be obtained with software like Max/MSP/Jitter , with less programming. I have to admit that I'm really impressed by all the projects that <a href="http://mrl.nyu.edu/~jhan/" rel="nofollow">Jeff Han</a> is working on.

I wonder how mature tech is this kind of motion detection. what about do the same things but without even touch the screen ? I wonder how mature tech is this kind of motion detection.

Especially the part where he arranges the photos and just effortlessly blows them up and shrinks them. Gestures have been a long underused method of interaction with computers. I suppose Graffiti is a trivial example of gestures, but it was mainly for writing text and wasn't very useful for accomplishing tasks. I remember using Pen OS/2 many years ago and I got really hooked on it. You could stroke down for a page down, etc. And there were user-defined actions, too. I loved this video!
