The video below reveals a very cool, two handed UI.  The written description does not do justice to how wicked cool this looks -- the best way to describe it is that it approximates the fascinating interface in the film Minority Report.

click for video:

In the movie, this is the PC interface in 2054 --  and this video via Jeff Han of NYU of this is an example of how the future sometimes arrives faster than expected.   

I'm not sure their description does it justice:

Our technique is force-sensitive, and provides unprecedented resolution and scalability, allowing us to create sophisticated multi-point widgets for applications large enough to accommodate both hands and multiple users." 

Note:  this looks like the next logical step to UI interfaces such as Audio pad, first mentioned at bb in 2003.
