Multi-touch interface
Most new touch screen computers are single touch. Which means changes are registered based on 1 location of touch, for example you can only interact with a touch screen with one finger. I recently came across a video in the archives at TED.com which I thought was very interesting about a multi-touch screen. This screen can register almost unlimited points of impact. As you see demonstrated in the video, this application can be really cool. I cant wait until a multi-touch laptop comes out that would be great. Another idea which you might have all seen in the movies, is a screen similar to the one he has in the demonstration as a table in a living room, where people can play with the photos and other applications just like in the demonstration. This would be the perfect piece for any living room. I’ve seen in a movie one that would create illuminations around objects placed on it like cups or magazines. New technology is great… and expensive. Sometimes I guess it’s just fun to look at.
