Could he add texture to it? I mean it would be very difficult to control such things on the screen without the conventional sense of frictional touch on it. You will have to depend totally on your vision to determine whether you have "grab" a hold of things successfully, which puts a great burden on the eyes. You may went tired easily by over-burdening your visual centers of the brain too much.

I hear ya on that this kind of tech has been around for some time. Touch-screen interactive technology is as old me for fuck sake and I'm 27. In fact Multi-Touch was developed in 1982, a whole whopping year after i was born!!! Shit man, why the fuck do we have to wait 20 or more years for new and awesome technology? Business politics is bullshit in my opinion.

I like this stuff a lot, I have had it on my iPhone for more than a year. It's not really "tech" though, it's just a technique of doing the same thing people have been doing for a long time.
By the way, the keyboard isn't going to be killed by this kind of thing. Lack of feedback makes any on-screen keyboard useless for any serious typing.

By replacing computers, I meant replacing modern computers. Computers are defined by their interface, so therefore if it replaced modern computers, it would be replacing that input.
Same way Apples replaced the computer (i.e. Microsoft Computer) by reinventing the input system.

it is still a computer dork. just a new type of input interface

It'd be interesting to see what OS(s) get this tech first. Apple? Microsoft? Looks like some serious graphics pwnage to me and I'll be investing in this stuff when it becomes available for sure.

This is amazing- I can't wait until this is a widespread product, and when it replaces computers!

Say you have opposable thumbs (:)...that's four points available for two hands on a two dimension surface. Limits make apparent possibility of popularly used 4th dimension. This leaves room for improvement, 5th dimension (look it up) with a physical tool based in 4 dimensions. |
