Check out this unbelieveable demo of multi-touch software. If you thought the technology behind the iPhone was cutting edge you won't believe the tech behind this GUI (graphic user interface). I think that interacting using your hands and arms like this would be tiring over time. But it definitely has some interesting applications for the real world. Jared, in the agency, had a great idea that this tech could be used by doctors to perform remote operations. They could be half-way across the world and yet be able to control the operation using techniques that are more human than using tiny remote controls. I also think it is interesting to be able to expand and explore images onscreen using gestures similar to the 'pinch' technique shown in the iPhone. The exploration of Google earth using this technique is also really cool.
