These are a few interfaces that I chose to show in class, I also have an analysis of other, more common, gestures below, downloadable in a word docx.
Carvillehttp://www.vimeo.com/3605050
Razorfish has created a variety of Microsoft Surface applications including DaVinci, a physics engine application similar to Crayon Physics. One of their more unique applications is Carville, which is intended to be used at a car dealership. Carville allows users to interact with a ficticious town by moving tangible objects, such as buildings and objects within the application, such as trees, fire hydrants, and animals. Users can also drive a car of their choice with a single-touch controlled steering wheel. By driving to certain locations, users can discover more information about the car such as safety
ratings and special features.
Fontplore

Fontplore uses a custom built multi-touch surface to explore a font database and help to visualize what selected fonts will look like on various documents. Fontplore uses objects to control the interface. The main navigation object allows a user to rapidly move through the large font database. The second object allows a user to perform commit actions such as save and print based on its placement over a font and its rotation. Both objects have colored light feedback to show the system’s action state.
Guten Touch

“Guten Touch is an interactive art installation that involves people into a natural relationship with technology.” Guten Touch promotes natural interactions with projected images on a touch wall to engage people in human-friendly experiences.
