Gestures in the wild

Maybe the tech of CSI isn't so ridiculous after all. With the rumors of an Apple tablet and "gestures" in mind, check out this video. It's a demo of what appears to be a gesture and touch-based UI that is impressive to say the least. Don't miss the manipulation of photos (they appear to be spread out on a table, and the user easily enlarges the photo he's interested it) and the navigation of the map of Boston. This is really cool stuff. Incidentally, the software that is used to manipulate the flat rabbit and cactus characters can be found here.

So, who wants an Apple tablet that does this? I do.
