• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Digital Future -or- Trash your Mouse

that is freaking cool. as a cadd person, i want one today!

i disagree that they think it's intuitive, but it's still freaking sweet.
 
hm, they don't work for me. But from what little did work(start frame) i can see what it is. Very cool, a bit dated, but very cool.

If you want to see it in production, watch the keynote about the iphone, the iphone implement it. Not as much, but the picture resize etc is there.

The last one worked for me, i didn't try the others.

I don't think the iphone has multiple-simultaneous touch points. the iphone is a very primitive version of what is shown in the last video.
 
whoops, i see the iphone is multi-touch. oh well the video is from august 26, 2006 so it predates the iphone intro anyway.

I still want one at 26x34. That is what i've always wanted instead of my old drafting table (although I didn't envision the multi-touch thing).
 
ah yes, now they work, i tried finding the problem, nothing from youtube would play, videos google worked, now youtube works again. Also tried another browser.

Queer.

Yes this is prior to the iphone. But imo there is a big difference between a tech demo, and in production. :D
 
true, but i'd still rather have a 36" computer display desk with multi-touch than an iphone (and ipod with the iphone interface I'd love to have, i don't want the phone.)
 
Mouse $7.99

M-T Screen $7999.


Anyway, thanks for the first look, Oliver.

That's not really fair, it's a new technology... the earliest mice cost $400 (possibly), and even today you could, if you wanted to, spend $145 on one, so we can hope that the M-T screen will become less relatively expensive.

Additionally, it depends on what you want to use it for. Some commercial users already use very expensive bits of dedicated hardware and very expensive screens, and might not think that $8k for an excellent screen with integrated control hardware is that out-of-the-way.
