House Hunting... with your Hands?

Perceptive Pixel is a New York based company that is trying to develop and market one of the most advanced multi-touch touchscreen systems in the world.

The eight-foot screens they have developed are reminiscent of the screens in the futuristic Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller Minority Report - but are grounded in real world technology. In other words, they actually work. Check out the demo video below.

There are huge applications in real estate, especially when you watch how the interface works with Google Earth. I suspect that we'll be seeing much more from these multi-touch systems in the very near future and it won't be long before a Realtor or consumer will be able to walk into a real estate office somewhere and start their house hunt using only your hands.
