Yeah, I would disagree with this. It wasn't just pushing items
around. if that were the case it would be really uninteresting to
watch. It was that plus automatic contextual information suiting the
conversation that was taking place, unfolding and collapsing in a way
that was perfectly laid out for two people sitting apparently random
locations at a long table and kept everything within reach without
extra shifting around or scrolling.
or maybe it was just a very good powerpoint presentation by a junior
member of MI6 on a surface table. :-)
Very much of a movie UI, and probably not realistically something one
will see anytime soon outside of a movie, but interesting to consider
how it might become a reality.

he Bond UI was really a Surface or any other multi-touch table. In
that context of discussing information together I could see it being
useful, though the UI itself was rather over-egged (for film, of
course). You still have to slide documents over to the other side of
the table for the person to see, it's just that they are more
flexible and digital, which is an advantage to loads of paper
(tagging, resizing, extra layers of info, etc., etc.).
