Technology: Jeff Han's freestyle interface

"Jeff Han is a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates--for the first time publicly--his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 09:32)"

(Finally, a superbly designed flat-panel version of the interface I imagined ten years ago in my ComputerUser editor-in-chief column! It even approaches the holographic-projection-based relative-position mechanics I imagined at that time. Think "Minority Report" and see this glimpse into the future!)

Lyrics: Upside Down - Jack Johnson

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Lyrics: Pacing the Cage - Bruce Cockburn

Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's round the bend
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
Today these eyes scan bleached-out land
For the coming of the outbound stage.
Pacing the cage.

Lyrics: Wondering Where the Lions Are - Bruce Cockburn

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
and I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...
