a little haptic feedback would be nice too, all around. perhaps a small vibrate like on current phones with virtual keyboards.]]>Oct 16th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/

From watching the video it seems like his "sliding panels" concept is just like what Palm did with the Pre, basically he just ported it to the desktop with added tools since you have more space.

I do think that having more of a touch panel versus a touch screen will make more sense in home/office environment unless montiors start getting designed in a way that they can quickly and easily be moved/adjusted to work from standard use to more of a tablet on your desk kind of thing.

Touch is certainly intersting and excited to see what will come out the next few years.]]>Oct 15th 2009 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/]]>Oct 15th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/]]>Oct 15th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/

Obviously someone has a good idea as the monitor must have some ability to watch the tablet-holders eye movements and be able to track them and correlate their movement to where the person is looking on the monitor. And THEN to interpret what the hand gestures on the tablet mean when associated with the item the eyes are resting on.

I hope that makes sense, and I don' t know why I am not using one right now. ]]>Oct 15th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/Oct 15th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/10-gui-interface-looks-to-redefine-the-touch-enabled-desktop/
