So, I started digging deeper to see what else was out there. I had seen Microsoft&rsquo;s multi-touch coffee table some time ago, but as with most things Microsoft, who knows when it will be out and how buggy it will be. Then I stumbled upon <a href="http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/">this multi-touch device</a>. Watch the video on the right side of the page. I&rsquo;ve always hated interfacing with a computer, even though that&rsquo;s what I do to earn a living, and this is getting closer to how I would like to interact. I think voice commanding and this multi-touch approach are great ways to interact with computing platforms, especially when it involves creating music or other types of art.</p>
