The future of user interfaces for computer technology looks fascinating and full of amazing surprises. After having showcased the eery magic of seeing images displayed into thin air, user interface researcher Jeff Han guides you to see how amazing will be working with computers once we will have gotten rid of mouses and will begin to draw and manipulate screen objects directly with our fingers.

Jeff Han is a research scientist for NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and the inventor of an "interface-free" touch-driven computer screen.

In this short video clip from his presentation at TED (9:32"), he demonstrates—for the first time publicly—his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure.
