The Future of Multi-Touch?

This concept video shows how ten fingers multi-touch input can be exploited to design a novel graphical user interface for computers.

I think using gestures is a very nice input method. With some practice, different actions can be done simultaneously. I wonder if we can display a keyboard on the touch surface, to get rid of all the real keys. Elsewhere, there is research and development in progress towards bumpy surfaces... That would allow for flexible keys to touch and click, and also to push tangible things around on the (not anymore flat) surface.
