Very impressive stuff. I mean I am sure that this would probably be a lot
of processing for the neo, but just looking at the video there are so many
things that you can imagine you could do with this technology. This would
be a perfect peice of technology for an open community. If it is pattented
then I can't wait until someone else comes up with a similar technology. I
counted that they had as many as 10 touches on the same panel at one time.
I wonder if they just use some kind of sectioning or something. Any way's I
am just curious. That and the voice control could change the way we
interace with things. I have always thought that the interface between
human and machine has developed very slowly. I mean the mouse and key board
have been around for ever and they are still the standard method of
communicating with a machine. Just thought I would post this question here
as every one here seems to be very knowledgable about this kind of thing.
