I love the new touch screen technology! In January, I linked to a video of Jeff Han’s giant touch screen application (scroll down and you’ll see the link). This month at CeBIT 2008 in Hanover, Germany, getting your hands -- both hands! -- into your work is one step closer to reality.

While a number of bloggers referred to this as a “Minority Report-like interface,” I think it turns Han’s work into real applications. Once again, this you have to see! Trade show exhibits will never be the same…

I dream of having a Photoshop/Illustrator application (are you listening Adobe?) that will let me literally “finger paint” or even “conduct” a design into existence. Picture a symphony conductor -- he paints with music; I want to do that with images.

Imagine what an artist could do by using all of his or her appendages to paint on the screen. Take a look at the video below; looks like fun, eh?
