The talk is a short introduction to contact manifolds and related topics such as CR geometry, Carnot-Caratheodory metrics, Heiseiberg manifolds, and sub-Riemannian manifolds. In turn, contact manifolds are viewed as a converging point of the areas. A new gauge theory on contact manifolds is proposed in order to test various tools available from those areas.
