Touch-based Handhelds Turned Inside Out

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the good-touch-bad-touch dept.

holy_calamity writes "Mitsubishi and Microsoft have made a prototype PSP-like handheld operated using a touch interface on the back — the idea is to give a firmer hold, prevent obscuring the screen and allow greater accuracy than the iPhone and others. The users fingers are shown as shadows on the screen so they can see what they're doing, making the device look transparent. As a video shows, it's far from market ready, but the design principle seems sound."

    Yeah, and apparently I'm well-known and a leader now! I did not receive that memo yet. The raise will be nice once the Marcabs finally get caught up on my back-pay.
