Windows 7 is going to make your computer screen touch sensitive. And BumpTop plans to become the next big thing in computing by making that Windows 7 attribute more useful. VentureBeat and TechCrunch have both commented on the new software.
VentureBeat describes the video...
This video below shows how you can crop pictures, simply by tapping on them, stretching them out, and cutting off the parts you don't want with simple hand gestures. You can do things like pan and zoom, using two fingers, much like you can do with the iPhone. You can spread something out or pinch to make it shrink. If you double tap on something such as a picture, you zoom in on the object. You can shift your focus to one of the side walls in the BumpTop 3-D interface. You can pull down with two fingers on the back wall to focus on it. You can also rotate to go to the other side walls. The complete suite of multitouch gestures is included in the paid version, BumpTop Pro.I wasn't very excited about Windows 7 before now. I'm not sure anymore. Features like this might make the upgrade worth it.
