Wow!!!
Wow, that is SICK! Nice work.
Wouldn't it be great if OSX incorporated some of that gestural stuff down the road?
Amazing....

That was pretty cool. So when will Microsoft buy this guy's stuff and turn it into their own and say they did it?
I do want to think about the gesture for squirting.

Halo all over again
Someday Steve will demo this on stage. It will be on the Mac first. But then Microsoft will buy up the company lock stock and barrell.
Then, it will no longer be for the mac first and MS will use it to promote a new product. a la x-box.
I am still made at the Halo guys for selling out.
I remember Steve demoing the Mac only Halo two years before it came out on the x-box.

Wow, so cool. In 15-20 years we'll all be having a wall-screen in our home-offices, can't wait. Ah, an iPhone will do for now.

Agreed. I sooo want a massive projection screen like that w/ pictures on it.
Seriously, how cool would that be?! A huge screen like that with a bunch of pictures on it. Family comes over, tons of pictures on the wall. People go up and start looking throw the pictures and tossing them around like in the video.
Absolutely awesome.
Hm.. Jeff Han is wearing a black turtle neck jumper in that vid.... If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd figure it would indicate secret alliances with another black turtle neck jumper aficionado.
Cool music in the clip btw...

Owsome..
. to watch how this works, its just amazing.Makes me think of this would be for consumers/endusers sooner then voice control, wich is basicly the future version of computers in 99% of all the SF movies.If you think of it alot of things won't even go faster if you can only talk to your pc, but others might go realy fast.Id love to be able to create and send an email without even touching a ( multi ) touch screen , mouse or keyboard.
But i guess that's still decades away .

That's pretty cool, and a much better interface than some of the other desktop metaphor interfaces (being that you can really see what you're doing).
That said, frankly I don't see this being all that useful for a lot of users in the near term.
Certainly, if I'm writing code, I don't want to even take my hands off the keyboard, let alone be waving both of them around a lot--try that for 16 hours a day and every geek will have biceps like Hulk Hogan.
But it shows tremendous potential for creative and scientific fields where multiple people are working together on a shared viewspace--instead of using a whiteboard or projection screen from your laptop, you can just walk up and interact with the screen.
Photographers could end up liking it, filmmakers (particularly storyboard and such) could benefit majorly, and many scientific fields could do well with this. Classrooms too, in theory, although that'd be spendy for most schools.
But I'll venture a guess and say it's overkill for a lot of "home" systems. Heck, if single-touch screens were really THAT much more productive than a mouse and keyboard, everybody would buy tablet PCs. Multi-touch helps, but it's still not ideal for everything regardless of how cool it looks.

Wow. That's truly amazing. I loved the part with the dragging of pictures on the screen.
I can see Apple using this for a Macbook model in the future, with the multi-touch keyboard on screen. I wonder if this would be received as negative, as many people like a physical keyboard.

Why not both? I loved how he searched into the search bar and all the photos matching his search flung out...
ok think of this... turn your MBP into nintendo DS w/ this technology. your top case becomes a screen also (the top case is the keyboard area). then your MBP would become a clam that would open up to show off two beatiful displays both w/ the multi-touch tech. there would be a multitouch keyboard... and who would need a mouse anymore... this would be great for video editing and photo-manipulation... you could also use a stylus to have more precise movement. it would also be like a tablet and a regular laptop combined
OMFG!
OMFG!
80 - Core + multi touch + OS X = Unstoppable
so this "new" multi touch system is pretty sweet but can you imagine if you put the worlds best OS and fastest processor w/ it?

Look again , is that a Mac
During the part where they play around with Google Earth,
Isn't that the Mac menu in the top left corner? Meaning is a Mac Pro with two dual output graphic cards enough to to this type of displays?

I was just going to post the same question but I think it's actually Sun Solaris 10.0
Cool... Where is my 46inch Apple Cinema Touch Screen
The title says it all. Where is my new display with 'Minority Report' style interface. Can I see that in the next big OS (Mac OS 11)? Or will I have to wait for my kids to get their hands on this... when I am too old to understand this new mental and touch screen interface stuff.

Here's a possible answer :

"Update: Yes, we saw the keynote too! We have some very, very exciting updates coming soon- stay tuned!"
Interesting.Makes me wonder if he's connected to Apple in some way
Undoubtedly the military will be one of the first groups to use this technology for planning, etc...
