New Computer UI Concept: 10/GUI Multi touch

Occasionally you run across something that makes you think.

This morning I saw a video on the new interface for multi touch computers.

We use multi touch every day (well, at least some of us do) with our portable devices.  That is mostly two fingers.  Why would you need more?

Check out the video introducing the proposed method of handling desktop multi touch.  It is provided by 10/GUI, showing how multi touch is not only feasible but presents some advantages over traditional “single touch” desktop interfaces.

Minority Report inspired software interface, reality

Reported by Engadget, Oblong’s g-speak: the ‘Minority Report’ OS brought to life.

Check out this video of g-speak, an OS that combines “gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels,” to deliver what the creators call “the first major step in [a] computer interface since 1984.”.
