Remember the Mouse revolution? I’ll never forget the first time I saw a Macintosh and used the mouse to move a pointer across the screen. I could start programs, paint pictures and do all kinds of cool things without learning a new interface.
Well, Jeff Han recently introduced the world to an entirely new generation of user interface during the annual TED conference. It is a Minority Report moment.
Its a new multi-sensor touchscreen which allows the user interface to completely disappear. You have to see it to believe it. It is truly incredible.

I love the lightbox app! Some of this is already in use on the iPhone. You can zoom in and out of web pages using thumb and finger to pinch.
The only problem I can see is fingerprints on your screen!
