Here is a project I found using a multitouch table as a tool for a data vis program. Overall its kinda cool but its SUPER boring. Why does data vis always end up being this boring? Also, is anything gained really from the whole multitouch thing or are they just doing it cause its cool?

I just attended a REALLY interesting lecture at Parsons by Robert Pietrusko and his partner on data visualization, they are doing some really cool stuff and had a great presentation. Here are links to some of the sites they discussed during their lecture:
