  1. Re:What will developers and game investors think? by kisrael · · Score: 1 · on Revolution Horsepower Revealed

    Yeah, take a look at these (RealPlayer, bleh) videos... this stuff was being done in 1975, and what EyeToy might do better...showing the whole image not a shadow, being a little smoother, not needing a blank background...adds that much more to the difficulty of what's being done.

  2. Engelbart Chord Keyset by daddyrief · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Ars Technica Reviews Controller Keyboard

    That thing looks like a beast.

    This is Offtopic, but maybe someone here would know...

    I've been looking to get a chord keyset similar to the 5-key style that Engelbart created. Picture. I vaguely remember seeing one or two products when i looked a few months back, but nowhere could i find a purchase link.

    I guess the question is: does anyone know where i could buy a chord keyset? Maybe some uber-nerdy slashdotter has one laying around i can buy?

  3. Re:Vastly different than Touchscreen keyboards by SimHacker · · Score: 2, Informative · on The Ultimate Dual-Hand Touchscreen

    Multi-point gesture interfaces go back a whole lot further than 2001. What's so special and original about Diamond Touch? Other than the obvious advantage s of being built out of modern technology, how does it compare with Myron Krueger's work, which goes back to 1969?

    Here's a biography and here's a link
    with one more image of a HMD.

  5. All that is old will be new again by Multics · · Score: 5, Informative · on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
    It would appear that someone at Microsoft learned how to read -- say for example: Computer Lib/Dream Machines [originally printed circa 1977 ] which describes Dynabook.

    At least they're smart enough to implement it coherently unlike a dozen or so who've tried previously. It sounds like this product is about 70% of what a Dynabook is supposed to be.
