Forget Keyboard & Mouse: Use Fingerpainting Instead

Regardless of far computers have come in the last decades, we are still using a pretty archaic form of input: keyboards. Mice aren't that intuitive either, at least not when you are trying to draw - so we have Wacom tablets and styluses instead. What if we did away with all of that and went back to a more child-like way of interacting with things? Touching, pointing, pulling our fingers on the screen? What if that actually meant commands for the computer to execute? Have a look at the video below:

As far as I can make out this software is proprietary to the interface - i.e it has been developed to showcase the touchscreen used here.. However - if you have a touchscreen already, there should be some programs out there making more use of it.. perhaps even going as far as this one.. who knows? Try searching on the name mentioned at the bottom Jefferson Y. Han -

What is the software used in the video.
I am looking for fingerpainting on a copmputer can anyone help
