If you are one of the lucky ones who own a touch monitor and is currently running Windows 7 beta or Windows 7 RC, you can test out some cool applications in Microsoft Touch Pack released by the Windows 7 team.
Microsoft Touch Pack contains the following applications:
Microsoft Surface Globe uses the Virtual Earth 3D engine to display a 3D version of the world. Using multi-touch, you can navigate to different regions, get local information, and “pin” your favorite locations. You can even “fly” around 3D models of buildings in some cities.
Microsoft Surface Collage! allows you to mange your digital photos plus arranging and resizing them using only your fingertips.
Microsoft Surface Lagoon is a screensaver that you can interact with using multi-touch.
Microsoft Blackboard is a puzzle game of physics on a virtual blackboard. Use gestures to rotate and resize gears, fans, seesaws and more to move balloons and balls toward the light bulbs – and victory.
Microsoft Rebound is a game that uses your fingers to propel a ball and annihilate your opponent.
Microsoft Garden Pond is a game where you can guide your origami creations to peaceful areas on the pond or direct them with gestures to complete goals that have been set for you. Gently move the origami by making ripples in the water
