I think someone have been watching Minority report to much.

So cool! Howmuch? Where to get? When avaibal? Live Demo? :)

give me .. =P

Or been taking too much acid. :D

Really cool idea, hope this will be on the market soon ;)

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..

Oh my GOD!!!... AMAZING!!!

verga :O

SHAZAAAAAAAAM! Thats pretty sweet.

Awesome.

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

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.

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.

Cool stuff

If this is the future, I'm more that happy to be part of it! The next step after this are probably Holographics

That slingshot game looks fun :D

nothing will replace the need for an actual or virtual keyboard but this GUI is like when windows took over from DOS.

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.

Its just a fucking touchscreen

with some good programming

Its just a fucking touchscreen

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 ! could easily just be a video with someone whose practiced mimicing the movements!

why arent you aloud to say F-a-k-e on here?

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.

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...

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.

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.

Very very cool...Can't wait to see how games get imp'd.

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.

nice....!!!

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.

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 :(

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

If you wrote an article about life we'd all reach enginhtenmelt.

At last, soneome who knows where to find the beef
