At this point most of us have seen and used touch screens in our lives. The most common touch screen in the world today is probably the touchpad on every laptop. These ubiquitous input devices have always felt a bit foreign and difficult to use. These devices might seem more intuitive to us if we all had only one phalange at the ends of our limbs but if that were the case I don’t think we would live in a base-ten world.

I just recently ran across some video on multi-touch interaction and I thought it was really impressive. It is easy to see the potential in these kind of interfaces.
