Peephole Displays

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-isn't-that-clever dept.

benh57 writes "A student at Berkeley has come up with a novel approach for navigating small handheld displays. In effect the display is a "peephole" into a much larger information area. You see different parts of the display by moving the handheld around - no more tiny scrollbars. Check out the DiVX movies to see it in action. It even works in 3D!"

    Not to be rude to the person who modded this as a troll.. but generally a troll is trying to piss people off.. I just have a crappy sense of humor I suppose, my apologies.

    Uhm, "first post on this" meaning the first post discussing the parents peephole affinity.

    The bus left. Everyone was on it. Except you.
