Multi-Touch Screens...The Future Is Here!
 

Of course, the "future" is likely too expensive for most of us, but here's a new investment goal, at least!

I really, really want one of those.

I can't think of any good reason why. All I know is that I really, really, really want one of those.

I'm with jwoody... no good reason other than the gadget gene that lives in my head.

Minory Report here we come. Very nice. That'd be a blast of a project.

It's always been sad how our computer hands become a set of slow, overworked, 2D switches. Given the right sensors and feedback they can express so much more.

Remember when mousing meant LisaDraw/MacPaint. "It's just a toy."

First thing I'd try is that crappy flash thing where you grab that chick's arse and watch it wobble. :D

saw this a few weeks ago and the only reason I can think of for owning one.. is because it would make for one hell of a light show behind me while I'm slammin the beats down :D

Have a think about how this would impact the computing world - all our software based around one input (ie, everything except some multiple-axis games) would need redesigning to benefit. Certainly a massive undertaking. I've got high hopes, though.

true that! hopefully we wont be limited to our chairs for much longer either! as nice as it is to just sit down, i want my games to be as interactive as possible :thumbsup:

Drool! That gadget gene is going haywire, although my wife just looked over my shoulder and said "Why?"

These women just don't understand... :)
