Found this on SlashDot, it's a touch screen that recognizes multiple inputs. It's got loads of potential applications, and I giggled like a school girl when I saw the part with him navigating the maps.

From the looks of it the map program he was using is NASA World Wind.
You GIS students really love your maps, don't you?
Then again, I get a bit giddy about new video games.. Man, I'd love to go to E3 some year. Still not as bad as getting giddy about map programs. Heh ;)
Yeah, it's World Wind, the interface and everything is the same. I can waste so much time with Google Earth and World Wind it's kinda scary. And since my building falls into the USGS imagery I can get really detailed pictures of my building.
And if you think I'm strange, you should have seen the discussion I witnessed this morning. A guy in my lab and my supervisor were discussing how his memory stick glows blue in his laptop, but glows red in the lab's laptop. After discussion, they realized that it's because one has USB 2.0 and one doesn't...this is the kind of stuff that gets us giddy.
