Multi-touch is all well and good but until now it's only been of any use when using two fingers at a time - y'know, like on iPhones when you zoom in or out of photos?
Finally the boffins have woken up to the fact that we have ten fingers (if you include thumbs, and I do!) - we'll soon be seeing screens on mobile phones that can recognise ten inputs at the same time...
...not quite sure how one can use all ten and still hold a phone comfortably, but I'm sure these boffins will find a way!Multi-touch is all well and good but until now it's only been of any use when... more

Multi-touch is the must have technology that has taken more than 25 years to become abuzz with popularity. In a speech called 'The Digital Decade' in 2001, Bill Gates described how touch interaction will make the keyboard obsolete. Microsoft completed the final hardware designs for 'Microsoft Surface' back in 2005. Apple beat Microsoft in the race to make a multi-touch device by announcing the iPhone in January of 2007.
The Future of multi-touch is very bright. Microsoft and Apple are developing operating systems running multi-touch, and consumers can expect to see a frenzy of multi-touch devices like the Microsoft’s Sphere http://research.microsoft.com/~benko/projects/sphere The sphere is great in particular that it allows for multiple users to be using it at the same time.
Consumers seem ready to adapt to this new multi-touch, are you ready to throw away your keyboard and mouse?

When Steve Jobs first introduced Apple’s iPhone at Macworld last year, the feature that evoked the most excitement was its touch-screen interface, allowing more than one touch at a time. The multi-touch technology added innovative new functions, such as allowing the user to easily zoom in and out of pictures and web pages by pinching the screen with two fingers.
But now, a more significantly advanced version of the amazing power of multi-touch technology has been unleashed upon screens much larger than those on the iPhones. Jeff Han, a research scientist at New York University, has developed Pespective Pixel. It's a relatively inexpensive technology that makes large multi-touch screens, which can accommodate 10, 20, or even more fingers.
This article includes photographs and two amazingly spiffy videos (one gives a fascinating music video demonstration of Han’s "Pespective Pixel", the other is a presentation that he made of “Perspective Pixel” at the annual TED Conference in Aspen, Colorado).When Steve Jobs first introduced Apple’s iPhone at Macworld last year, the... more
