this video talks about gestures on tabletop mulit-touch tables and gives some details about how the tools work and some of the features included in selecting, copying, cutting and pasting. this is a very nice explanation of the interface on this multi-touch screen; more functional than the normal eye candy that gets shown in the publicity videos. the tabletop is from the University of Toronto and the Mitsubishi Electric Research Lab. I need to give a shout out to Jan, who commented on a previous post and left his blog address iatelevision.com.

snapz enlarge tool demo

this smapz tool demo shows a moving window that shows an enlarged area of the screen directly below the cursor. I am not exactly sure where this would fall within the area of movement and info yet but I believe it has relevance to the topic.
