Hello I am from the future! In the future, we wear shiny silver spacesuits, zoom around in kick-ass hydrofoils, and use awesome multi-point touch screen interfaces to do, like, everything. Yes, like this one, which will probably blow your primitive Earth mind. Sorry about that. And every day we use devices like your unfortunately-named-but-way-cool-anyway Jazz Lemur mixing board, which uses a pressure-sensitive surface and gesture based interface to control and mix our music. Pick one up! It only costs $2,500 of your past-dollars. What is that, like one share of Google?

But don’t fret, primitive Earth human, you’ll be getting your oily little fingerprints all over a multi-point touch screen gesture-based interface soon enough, either from Apple or Microsoft*. Be patient, for in your best case scenario, the future is inevitable! In the meantime, caveman/cavewoman, you can enable gestures in your copy of Mac OS X’s Quicksilver to see if gestures work for you.

* Worst. Viral. Marketing. Ever. Check the source code on that Origami Project site in your browser; right at the top of the HTML that embeds the flash object it says “Origami Project: the Mobile PC running Windows XP”, which pretty much kills all my interest in it right there. I already have one Windows PC in my house, I’m not inviting another one in any time soon.
