Multi-touch in the Home

Multi-touch technology is the hottest thing in mobile electronics today, and products like Microsoft's Surface hold the potential for bringing this technology into the home. There is a lot of potential for this technology to revolutionize computing, but there are also many barriers for its entry. Multi-touch devices need to become cheaper, and interaction principles need to be solidified in the minds of everyday users.
