Apple vs. Palm: the in-depth analysis - Engadget

It all started while we were researching an article on future user interfaces. Touch interfaces are hardly futuristic at this point, but multi-touch hardware like the Microsoft Surface or the iPhone is just starting to become a big deal, and we decided to see what big things are going on in that field. What we found that surprised us the most wasn’t anything about the future of multitouch; it was about something that people are doing right now.

Multi-Touch G² is a Multi-Touch solution that can be easily applied to any LCD or Plasma monitors. With our software platform support, you can showcase your products and services with Multi-Touch on a large screen. WAUW

an interactive application designed for searching and exploring font databases

ok, ok. Of little use to us mortals. But the damn application and UI is unbelievable. Just watch the video!

font interaction and exploration through a surface device. Amazing.

Courier -Microsoft's Tablet

To watch the video, you'll first need to install the flash player.

It feels like the whole world is holding its breath for the Apple tablet. But maybe we've all been dreaming about the wrong device. This is Courier, Microsoft's astonishing take on the tablet.

graphical user interface paradigm we today take for

10/GUI aims to bridge this gap by rethinking the desktop to leverage technology in an intuitive and powerful way.

A great idea for human computer interaction using a large multitouch surface

remind you of anything? iphone functionality

Meh.

"The purpose of the 10/GUI concept video is to inform, inspire, and start discussions. An ocean of experimentation, iteration, investment, and adoption lies between these early ideas and whatever the future of HCI will hold. Will the principles of 10/GUI prove viable? To test these waters is the only way to find out"

nice study on multitouch interfaces with beautiful animation

Pretty interesting take on the desktop. The iPhone has proven you can manage quite complex tasks with your fingers. I'd love to try something like this.

Here it is: my crazy summer project to reinvent desktop human-computer interaction. This video examines the benefits and limitations inherent in current mouse-based and window-oriented interfaces, the problems facing other potential solutions, and visualizes my proposal for a completely new way of interacting with desktop computers.

fooooooooooooooda! novo estilo de interface para programas, usando múltiplos pontos de contato

it's genius

odoo you will love this...

Multitouch on Unibody MacBooks

Presumably Leopard only

A little known fact about the unibody touchpad is that it can distinguish between up to eleven touch points - i.e., fingers. Another little known fact is that the sensor knows about the contact surface area (in terms of ellipsoids). Another yet less known fact is that Johan Nordberg didn't sleep much last night, and wrote a neat OS X application which simply plots what the trackpad (or Magic Mouse!) is saying about touches.

Did you know you can switch tabs in Firefox by making a twisting motion with your fingers on a multi-touch surface? I did. Turns out I’ve been doing it for months — I thought I was late to the party and was too ashamed to mention it to anybody for fear of an epic internet ribbing (”What, you just figured that out?”). But no, apparently it was top secret and highly experimental. That was in the beta, though; it looks like the official version has reduced it to a hack. Fortunately, mastering this multi-touch-enabling technique will allow you to tweak your gestures, resulting in everlasting glory.

This is awesome. Try it if you haven't already.

"Our Silicone ILluminated Active Peripherals, or SLAP widgets, are physical widgets made from silicone rubber and acrylic that combine the advantages of physical and virtual devices: Our SLAP buttons, sliders, knobs and keyboards have the physical shape of real devices to provide the right haptic feedback, but are still easily relabeled using a tabletop rear projection. At the same time, they are particularly low-cost, and easy to put to use."

Below, I’ve jotted down a few thoughts on design practices that we’ll likely be seeing a lot more of as site owners begin reorganizing and redesigning to welcome our touchy-feely visitors.

It’s probably safe to say that touchscreens as a method of interacting with the web aren’t going away. In fact, it appears quite the opposite: most new smartphones have one now, Google’s making their own tablet, and I think ol’ Steve Jobs has managed to shift a couple…million.
