Innovation at Your Fingertips: ways to re-imagine.
Until recently, the closest most of us got to experience gestural computing interfaces were in futuristic Hollywood films like Minority Report. But with the advent of the iPhone and Wii, gestural UI is now common place — and in its infancy.

As Dan Saffer says in his book Designing for Interaction-“tap is the new click.”
Nice review of D4I by Michael Cummings on his blog: “One of the many strengths of his book (aside from Dan’s depth of insight and breadth of experience) is that he ties together so many varied perspectives on interaction design, to include those of others (a good example for all designers) directly, through interviews. These serve as fitting diversions; quick, germane interviews with interaction design founders and luminaries.”

Microsoft’s Surface platform and other similar technologies, give us the ability to re-imagine everyday experiences on a grand scale — whether it be retail, social or play.
