For instance, using a touchscreen on a phone makes sense to a point (as long as you don't need to add a lot of text), but if you really want to surf the internet to get much more precise control of the UI a pointing device such as a mouse is vastly superior.

Well that's only because the accuracy of touch hasn't been perfected yet. I'm sure if you compared computer mice (old ball mice) to the newest laser with high DPI, you'd find a vast improvement in the precision too.

Once touch improves it'll be like "remember when we actually typed on physical keyboards and moved that one thing around.. what was it called? A mouse or something?"

While I agree that the tactile feedback helps a great deal, it's not necessary at all. Once you get used to not having it, it's not so bad.]]>May 13th 2010 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/

It has nothing to do with the accuracy of the touchscreen itself and everything to do with the accuracy of your arm gestures.

Less a limitation of the technology and more a limitation of the human form.

Try waving your hands in the air - unsupported - for more than a few minutes and let me know how that feels.

It's not a comfortable or natural position to be in. Even when you can actually touch the screen itself, it's still an unnatural position. Mice are extremely accurate because your arm is supported and your fingers are doing the movement - your fingers have an order of magnitude more dexterity than your arms.

We've been working with touchscreens for our EMR software, and the problem is some of the buttons and radials are too small, your finger completely covers them when touching. Zooming in and out solves this, but is frustrating to do.

I think a great software fix for this could be done simply by making a drawable area of the screen function like a laptop touch. Either a specific gesture pulls up one pre-positioned, or a 4 finger "Square" could create one anywhere on the screen. Then slide your finger around to move a cursor, tap to click, and a specific gesture gets rid of the pad.]]>May 13th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/
But then you are just back to using a touchpad kind of defeating the point of using this fancy new touchscreen display, right? I mean sure since you would dynamically change the shape/size of the "touchpad" area it would be more advanced than that, but it's kind of like using a chainsaw to carve a turkey... lots of fancy/powerful technology and you are using it for a rather mundane purpose.

I have said from day one of seeing this technology that it looked cool as hell, but was pure fluff.

In 20 years the office of tomorrow is not going to have tons of these kinds of screens with people flailing their arms wildly to open documents or "type" on imaginary keyboards.... it's going to be rather similar to a current office where people use similar tools that we have been using for decades now - because they work.]]>May 13th 2010 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/May 14th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/May 13th 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/May 13th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/May 13th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/May 13th 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/evoluce-47-inch-hd-multitouch-display-gets-off-screen-gesture-co/Price?
