Watch out the following amazing video that presents the use of WorldWind Java SDK for a multi-touch wall screen. The result is astonishing!
I can already imagine wannabe-wolrd conquers using this technology to find the place where to settle their throne…
Here is a presentation of this exciting technology covered in JavaOne session.

Multitouch interfaces are indeed something that might change the way we interact with computers (and other devices).
Pionneers in the subject are some guys from NYU
Their presentation in TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference 2006 was great.

Apple’s Iphone is the only commercial product I know of, having multitouch hardware.
Apple announced $100 million fund for iPhone Applications.
Java is not available for the Iphone
Maybe Android + Google $10M + Multitouch + Java is a better choice.
Interesting times….
Invaluableness says : I absolutely agree with this !
I don’t know why, but it reminded me the movie ‘Minority Report’.
