The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article on HP’s “Wall of Touch”. Interestingly the wall utilizes a touch mechanism with cameras and magnetic strips to detect when you are nearing the wall. I would love to target this.
It seems multi-touch interfaces have embedded themselves within my psyche of late. The interfaces in our near future will embrace a more intuitive user experience.
It may be on Microsoft’s Surface:
I can’t wait until some of these multi-touch mice are available. The FTIR mouse is my favorite of the prototypes presented in the video. These input devices coupled with Windows 7 multi-touch support present interesting development opportunities.
Of course, if you’re running OSX, you don’t need to wait since the Apple Magic Mouse is already available.
