I think someone have been watching Minority report to much.

Loving IT !! (guest)  -  March 15, 2006, 00:02
So cool! Howmuch? Where to get? When avaibal? Live Demo? :)

give me .. =P

Or been taking too much acid. :D
Nova (guest)  -  March 16, 2006, 19:58
Really cool idea, hope this will be on the market soon ;)
Mazka (guest)  -  March 17, 2006, 20:21
Wonder what kind of rig is under that screen. Needs sinful amounts of processing power for that kind of playing. Dont still know how much this would give to home-users.

heh really cool

The music is stolen from Animatrix! I'm pretty sure..

Awesome.
anonymous (guest)  -  April 9, 2006, 05:55
Wow, impressive... One can onyl imagine how many fingerprints will be on it after a week ;P I want one!

I can't see what in this which is so innovating. Everything else besides the interface we already have since years ago, and the interface was an application, not a system wide interface ready to replace or complement todays interface. Made to look good, not good to use in every day work. Designing interfaces is a very difficult work. Not a work for four people.

one word: multitouch
stefan (guest)  -  April 25, 2006, 23:07
been thinking about the same thing alot of times, problem is you cant do anything usefull with it since no base-api on modern systems has support for multiplice mices so you will have tok work around with fi dinput in windows wich makes it in practice useless.
o_O! (guest)  -  April 28, 2006, 06:40
having such a multitouch feature would enable you to do the same amount of work you do with a computer nowadays in less than half the time. and when it comes to other things, like gaming for example, it wouldn't be as limited and the interactivity would be just awesome.

Jonte, you're an idiot. "The mouse will never go anywhere. Who would want to use one of those things?" Xerox Labs, 1970s

Cool stuff
Amazed (guest)  -  May 20, 2006, 03:08
If this is the future, I'm more that happy to be part of it! The next step after this are probably Holographics
Guest (guest)  -  May 23, 2006, 03:46
That slingshot game looks fun :D
qwerty (guest)  -  June 12, 2006, 23:06
nothing will replace the need for an actual or virtual keyboard but this GUI is like when windows took over from DOS.
aba (guest)  -  June 29, 2006, 12:28
man.. i'd love to see that thing aplied to some strategy games. if used side by side with voice commands or something it could make things really interesting.
Idiothater (guest)  -  August 2, 2006, 22:28
Its just a fucking touchscreen
Idiothater (guest)  -  August 2, 2006, 22:30
with some good programming
Idiothater (guest)  -  August 2, 2006, 22:30
Its just a fucking touchscreen
meep (guest)  -  August 3, 2006, 23:50
the impressive part of it is that you can use all 10 fingers at once on it! Instead of just the usual one finger!! And you had soo much more control on that screen than any other touch screen! Of course no1 has yet said it could be a fake! could easily just be a video with someone whose practiced mimicing the movements!
FAKE (guest)  -  August 3, 2006, 23:51
why arent you aloud to say F-a-k-e on here?
Hambone (guest)  -  August 5, 2006, 07:27
It's 'just' a touchscreen? Before this styluses could only work with a single input - try using two stylus pens on a Palm Pilot or Nintendo DS, it won't work like this.
 Draugovininkas  -  August 29, 2006, 20:56
This is indeed very interesting... The technology was, is and allways be there, all you need now is creativity... you saw that this thing had a virtual keyboard, now with a little imagination you can easily think up a virtual mouse as well... the problem is.. this things would be very costly... the matterial, and the (mostly) the software. think of the programing that is involved... it's amazing...
Niedec (guest)  -  September 15, 2006, 07:39
I'm sure this would become a reality in everyday situations. Remember: IBM despised the mouse. Seriously, think about that. All that needs to happen is for these guys to patent the idea and then pitch it to Wacom. It would be awesome.
Niedec (guest)  -  September 15, 2006, 07:40
I think that with Wacom's Cintig setup right now, it wouldn't be TOO pricy. Maybe $4000? That seems like a lot, but it would go down with time.

Old, but VERY good.
P00p3nb0x (guest)  -  January 11, 2007, 19:39
Very very cool...Can't wait to see how games get imp'd.
Tsaebad (guest)  -  January 27, 2007, 19:51
This looks like it would need a much larger array of monitors, in a system coordinated by everyone's own needs, whether home or business usage. In theory, having several interfaces with applications running and even at times interchanging material to finally conclude maybe a full project onto one monitor, as teams of men and women finger thier ideas around over conversation and much walking, and in a world where fingerprints are all the authority you need, there will be no need to log in ever, simply trying to use a screen you will automatically be accepted or ignored. I think it's a great example of what's to come, but far from the code needed to actually run a plethora of applicable softwares/hardwares, and the balloon games and Google globe don't impress me.
jobbyhead (guest)  -  March 24, 2007, 16:58
nice....!!!
 Gerb  -  April 5, 2007, 04:48
To Draugovininkas: Why would we want a mouse, if we can use our own fingers? =P And yes, as soon as this is implemented in society (which will be in, what, 8 years max?), the next step *will* be Minority Report style interfaces.
yays (guest)  -  May 6, 2007, 19:17
USELESS?? no wai! imagine what this cold do for expample macromedia Dreamwevaer/flash/paintshop and so on! to bad no systems support multiple mouses yet :(
COOL (guest)  -  June 5, 2008, 08:14
This is still very cool. I know Ubuntu has some support for multimouse, Im gonna give it a try. I wonder where you can get these applications that they have developed for multimouse. I imagine they have probably used linux, just make sense.

I've been looikng for a post like this for an age
