anyone check out his fingers? no thanks he's gonna be majorly deformed if he continues on that thing

The demo he did at TED shows some different functionality...
-
I wonder if this would be useful at all for drafting...
I want SketchUp on that badboy... imagine how much that would impress clients throwing massing models around on that in a meeting.

I don't think so for him that is probably a natural way to move his fingers, did you ever look how your fingers are bend when you type? Its also very unatural but you got used to it. I think this is the same.

I thought I should add a link to this other thread that shows Microsoft's adaptation of this kind of technology. To me Microsoft's 'coffee table' looks really cool -- a consumer product that I think many people will want to have. I want one!

I read a tutorial in a computer magazine recently on how to effectively build an A0 touch screen. They used:
An A0 drawing board
4 clip on corner sensers and a stylus (the type that enables interactive white board displays in schools)
An overhead video projector.
A PC running Windows Tablet CE
About £1000 for the rig but the end result was pretty good, although they did say that as Win Tablet CE was not designed for use on such a big area calibration was a problem

Must have been an interesting read Jon, care to share the name of the mag and which edition the article was featured?
-
I'll have to find the magazine, I've probably still got it, I think it was either Computer Shopper or PC format. I'll have a hunt and get back to you.
-
Thx man, would really appreciate it!

It was in the UK edition of PC Format February 2006.I can't find the workshop on the net. I hadn't remembered the setup quite right. They actually used a small interactive whiteboard called a Smartpad Traveller, not corner sensors. They were also using XP, not CE.
They mounted the whiteboard onto a desk (about the size of an A0 drawing board) at an angle. Their whole rig cost £2000 not £1000 as I said.
Other than that my description was the same. I think actually using corner sensors rather than a board would A, be cheaper and B, be more practical.

Hmmm... We get PC Format here in SA (we have a local edition and the UK edition) and I buy it regularly. Most of the SA edition's content is licenced from the UK edition. It could be that I missed the article or they never used it, I'll have to go and check.
Thanks for updating!
