Below is a video clip of a multi-touch photo presentation system running Windows 7: Gesture + Touch - has gesture and physics engines.
Apparently the application can run on Vista, Win 7, and Win 7 Touch.
Here is an HP TouchSmart PC, running a Touch Map application on Windows 7:
The following clip is of a newscaster using a multi-touch transparent screen.The display is from U-Touch Ltd. a partner of NextWindow. In my opinion, the application enhances the viewers understanding of the various news topics, and is visually appealing as well.
The graphics engine used in this application was developed by Vizrt, the same folks who were behind CNN's video hologram. Here are a few pictures from the Vizrt website:

This is all amazing technology. You've made an old nerd excited yet again. Surprised not to see the new Promethean ACTIVboards on display or at least their latest software.
Dean,
What I'm happy about is that there is such an uptick in interest in multi-touch, "surface" technology!
I think there is a trend towards "all in one" displays, since they eliminate the need for projectors.
We still need innovative applications for the Promethean and SmartBoards in use in thousands of classrooms, since public schools have invested so much in IWB's over the past few years.
