This is a user interface which utilizes multiple touchpoints on an interactive display. The description doesn't do it justice, so just watch the video -- you will be impressed!
While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops
Look for the parts in the video where they are 1) sorting photos; 2) navigating Google Earth.
