Why Don’t We Have Better User Interfaces — Part 2

03.09.06

Back in February I posted about the struggles that we face with current user interfaces. Well just recently I came upon a video on YouTube that shows a multi-touch user interface. The applications of this are almost endless as shown by the video. This screen records the input of multiple touches on its screen; whereas current touch surfaces (screens or trackpads on your laptop) can only record one touch at a time. If you try to touch it in two places at a time you get sporadic, unpredictable response. Check out the below video and keep your fingers crossed that this becomes mainstream quickly! (I know it’s long, but you get to see MANY possible applications of this technology).
