Dubh Aingeal Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Using cheap acoustic sensors the surface of any 3D object can be instantly made into a touch-sensitive interface capable of tracking two objects at once. Its creators are planning to make hospitals more hygienic - keyboards and mice will be replaced by desks wired to perform as keyboards and touchpads. A video shows it in action."
Msterbeau Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 The sensory feedback thing is a good point made in the article. I like to know that I'm actually activating something, by touch, not just visually. Still... pretty cool shit.
Rayne Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Definately cooler than this, but unfortunately not as easily available. I saw that in the new catalog we got the other day.
Scary Guy Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Give me my direct wetware interface now. That just looks like a fancy tablet to me combined with nintendo power glove technology.
