There were shades of sci-fi film Minority Report as Accenture showed off its 'interactive wall' at its Technology labs in France.

The giant touch-sensitive displays can be used by many people at the same time and can already be found in Chicago and New York airports. Tapping on the screens allows people to access information or video, navigate menus or play games.

Accenture predicts a wide range of uses from interactive hospital floorplans that allow managers to co-ordinate staff, patients and equipment to interactive services in bank foyers.
