The first is a next generation destruction CG tech demonstration that looks ultra realistic. If they could implement something like that in games it would be awesome.

“Using particle-based tools, the Extreme Loading technology generates iterative visuals with the added realism of material based physics. According to the developer, it can be used to design a destructible set — simulations can be run long before the set is built — and the resulting 3D files can be brought into Maya or comparable package for dressing and compositing.”

The second video is a dynamically transparent window that responds to the movements of people passing by. Using a camera, passers-by are tracked, and the data is processed by a system that controls custom-built interactive windows on the facade.

One demonstration that I found absolutely fascinating is a Photoshop multitouch image editing one. Working with small screens and a mouse plus keyboard combination is the current state of the art when it comes to image editing. It becomes problematic in a number of way including working in a team. It is also not natural to use a mouse to draw and edit images. Multitouch image editing uses a natural flow and offers a bigger detailed view of the image at hand.

I found a video on youtube demonstration how powerful this way of image editing is. Enjoy the show.
