I think we are way past Minority report. We just haven't put it out their for people to use yet due to testing. The only thing from minority report that they haven't pushed on is the retinal detectors. I guess have laser shooting into your eyes to identify you is a bit scary at this day and age. ]]>Dec 11th 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/He sounded like the fat white guy on the Office.]]>Dec 11th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/Dec 11th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/mit-gestural-computing-makes-multitouch-look-old-hat/

Or it could be used to add multi-touch to a screen tablet like the Cintiq in a way that lets the fingers be used in pen mode. This would allow the fingers to be tracked and a cursor (or cursors) moved while hovering,saving surface contact for clicking and dragging. Add a little haptic feedback for the items on screen, and it would be like the icons are physical objects you are moving with your fingers. Imagine dragging your finger across a spreadsheet and feeling the borders between cells as raised edges.

I'm not sure you can really get rid of hands-on-the-desk, upright-display because of ergonomics. If your touch surface had a 1-1 relationship to the screen, then it would come to feel like you are manipulating the display directly without your hands needing to leave the desk.

Any computer interface that requires more than small, efficient movements of the fingers and wrist is doomed to fail IMO.]]>Dec 11th 2009 2:45PM
