The Ultimate Dual-Hand Touchscreen

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the please-let-me-have-one dept.

LithiumX writes "This morning I saw a video demonstration of the most interesting input technology I've seen for a long time. This is a touch-screen that accepts inputs from multiple (I saw at least 8) points at once. It seems very responsive, the display is large and of decent resolution, and they actually wrote software to take advantage of it. It appears to be entirely research at the moment. I'd offer up organs for one of these things."

    Now my favorite touch screen gag is obsoleted:
    User: This touch screen is awesome, but how do I right click on items?
    Me: Use your right hand

    *user stares blankly*

    "I'd offer up organs for one of these things."

    This being /., we all know which organ should be first to go, seeing as how it's the least used.

    Let me spell it out:

    Major technological innovations in computers and the Internet have been driven by porn. Adoption rates are, among most early adopters, driven by that technology's ability to deliver porn. This is true of Broadband, the early graphics card races, DVD drives and the Internet itself.

    This interface requires two hands.

    Need I say more?

    Don't make me to spell it out in anatomical detail.

    I'd give my left hand for a two-handed touch screen. ;-)
