That is kinda cool.

 

Basically they have made a touch screen which registers multiple touch points, which whilst is a clever thing isn't that hard because touch screens already have to record both your vertical and horizontal positioning. So on a 'single point' touch screen if you put 2 fingers on the computer must decide which one takes priority. Now they've done some clever engineering so the computer can take multiple inputs.

 

The rest of it was just a clever graphical program.

Very, very cool. Thanks for posting that. I can't wait for that type of interface to be commonplace.

It's about time, too. Keyboards take up unnecessary space. So do mouses.

Neat, I guess. Wake me up when there's a practical direct brain interface.

This link won't work for me. It says web page can't be found. Any help?

[mrblond5311]

It acts like it wants to load then redirects to this:

 

 

can't find the web site

500 Unknown Host

The site may no longer exist or it may have moved.

Double-check for any misspellings, punctuation errors, or extra spaces.

If these suggestions do not work, try restarting your computer.

Nevermind. I copied it then pasted in Internet Explorer and it worked. That is pretty nice.

That was awesome.

I saw that satellite map thing in there. I've seen google maps but is there a better one out there. One that can zoom in more and provide better graphics? I have seen local.live.com and i like the birdview feature. But it's only available with some areas.

 

Does anyone have a link to a really good satellite map?
