Multitouch has moved from Hollywood fantasy
to geometric product growth in a 6 year period.

Comments:
John Underkoffler’s work at the MIT Media Lab actually started in the mid-90’s, Fingerworks, who sold itself to Apple was actually producing multitouch products at the time Minority Report came out, in 2002.
