Multi touch sensitive screen research

    Quote

    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.

    Looks pretty cool for a little toy, But I'm sure someone can make up some UI for it that would be really slick

    Do you really need a user interface though with a system like that? To me, this sort of seems to be drifting away from UI's and towards more intuitive functions with your body rather than a 'tool -> button -> result' sort of thing. I'd imagine there would be some simple interface for more advanced programs, but I think most of the functions would be performed based on things like the speed, pressure, direction, motion etc. of your fingers.

    But I dunno really

    One of the coolest things I've seen in awhile, anyway. The track in the video is pretty cool, I've heard it on 'The Animatrix' dvd menu.

    I didn't mean a windows standard UI, more like what you described, that's a user interface too.

    The photo manipulation thingy was interesting, I wonder how hard it would be to add features from photoshop to it, but keeping the fluid feel of the program.
