With that being said, Apple doesn't "own" the idea of Multi-touch.]]>Jan 27th 2008 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/
Not that it means much anyway. I don't like the idea of putting my fingers all over a screen while I'm eating my fried chicken and french fries. There might be a tendency to degrade the display with grease all over it.]]>Jan 29th 2008 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/
i thought my 17" crt doing 1280 X 1024 is doing bad job !

"am i the only one" ?]]>Jan 27th 2008 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/
I agree that on a 42" screen, that resolution would be intolerable. Especially at close range, as you'd need to touch it.]]>Jan 27th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.lumin.de/multitouch/index.php?lang=en]]>Jan 27th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/

None of this is to suggest that people like Jeff Hann, or Apple haven't made contributions. See:

http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/jan2008/id2008012_297369.htm

But I suspect that discussions would be more valuable if they were framed in the larger context of interaction and the history of the technology and the respective design and technology issues.]]>Jan 27th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 27th 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/Jan 28th 2008 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/
In any case, Jeff Han's demo over at Perceptive Pixel is still the coolest multitouch demo I've seen. Check it at http://www.perceptivepixel.com/]]>Jan 27th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/
what a silly commercial. At least Jeff Han's demo looked like there may be some useful applications for multitouch. (or at the very least, some fun stuff.)]]>Jan 27th 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/lumins-multitouch-display-does-uh-multi-touch/
The guys at multitouch.nl (NUI) their software (including touchEarth) is way cooler, their hardware seems better as well:
