Multi Touch (new touchscreen technology)

[slabaughericka]

very interesting post. Keep it up!

[knuckleheadzup01]

love it - nice, the future looks very bright

[GarrettRayKemple]

If they had this in 2006..why the fuck isnt EVERYTHING like this now?

[slammah2012]

@GarrettRayKemple because it seems retarded

[PitchyMcJesus]

But remember people, Apple invented multitouch back in 2007 with the iPhone. That's called SARCASM :p

how the hell can the US Patent Office grant a patent to Apple for something Apple stole.

[amrit0315]

amazing!!!!!!waiting for this technology....2011 now

[skotiFD]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ buhbuh bah what? what?

[notsoginger]

i need this song... what is it?

[NateTheGreat555]

This is absolutely awesome.

Where did you get those demo's for you surface?

I'm hoping to complete my design as well, and those programs/games would totally complement it!

Nice job overall! 5/5

[eklipst2x]

Want to know more about this kind of thing?

Check out the links on this site, they'll give you a more complete picture of what's going on.

[xxbubblez220]

what is it and where can i get one!?!?

[sweetelesue]

what was that game with the geometries at the end???

[biboKralle]

i hate people always talking about the shitty iphone when it comes to multi-touch-screens. the iphone cant do shit with multitouch except for zooming, uuuh...

[RareJj7]

thats why im getting an htc hd2 or hero

[biboKralle]

thats why i switched my htc touch hd to an hd2 last week ;)

[con3593]

wrong again, the projector is under the flat screen. What you need to do to make one of these in a nutshell is remove the plastic cover and backlights and whatnot from an lcd, then replace those with a projector. You just can't see the box it's in because it's so dark

[Virginityrocks]

I'd really like to utilize this with a large (32" approx.) screen, to play very small RTS maps that involve 4 players positioned on the 4 corners of the screen (Square screen for balance), then using your fingers to move your units, essentially turning the RTS franchise into a board-game.

[con3593]

This one guy I was talking to on a forum has actually adapted the screen to play World Of Warcraft on it. That would be pretty sick, in my humble opinion

[raphie07]

My iPhone can do that! :)

[seqds]

soooooo cooooooool! cant wait when they make it regular solution.

[itachiuchiha01234]

Impressive, and made in 06. Its 09 now i wonder how much it improved.

[TheSikaoz]

@itachiuchiha01234 wrong my friend, it's 2011 already, imagine how much as it changed =)! ... ... (I know it's 2010, but this way my coment will last 1 more year xD)

[mrfadi]

@itachiuchiha01234 it's 2011 now :D

[nsokoloff]

wow, made in 2006. very interesting. Now, 2009, this technology is still very expensive and not available for every commercial retailer.

[con3593]

so please, If you have no idea what your talking about, don't accuse people of being stupid. Nuigroup...check it if you don't believe me

[con3593]

You are about to make yourself sound stupid.. Infrared Led's are shone upon the glass or acrylic surface. the camera picks up on the led's and whatever is on top acting as a diffuser. When you place your finger(s) down, more IR light is reflected which is picked up by the infrared camer. This is transferred back to a computer that has finger tracking software. Inside of his box there is a projector that is hooked up to the computer, which displays the image from the bottom.

[isokessu]

there's no projector that's just some flat screen.

[con3593]

The projector is in the box.

[isokessu]

there's no projector because it's flat screen

[con3593]

It's not, thats home made using an infrared camera and Infrared Led's hooked up to a computer that has finger tracing software. The microsoft version is much more elaborate

[badsaddamdotnet]

how the fuck would an infrared camera be used to do that!? and "finger tracking software" stop making shit up you faggot.

LEDs would not look like that either, do you understand resolution?

and microsoft suck dick and if you disagree you are so fukin naive. homo.

[badsaddamdotnet]

stupid cunt

[sacredgeometry]

arghhahahahaha you idiot

[badsaddamdotnet]

dude im fully taking the piss i have built many of these. its just funny messing with people on you tube. you know wat people are like "err thats not rea" > "yes it is blah blah"

[sacredgeometry]

:P ok

[Virginityrocks]

You can build touch screens yourself...certainly not as professional looking/performing as the commercial versions, but you can.

[sacredgeometry]

i know i have a really great ebook on how to do it :) the Finnish he gets is quite good but i guess it differs from job to job, person to person....i am just going to wait and see this time next year hopefully they will be cheap enough to justify buying one.

my main reason is for music performance so multitouch is essential and size isnt particularly :) somwhere between 10-12" would be fine

peace

brian

[Dragonfly5280]

Hands down the coolest technology I have ever seen! Where do I get mine!

[KatsuNaoe]

cool

[srdundas]

omg, that is just sooo awesome!!!

[wondersuki]

awesome

[eduardfront]

microsoft surface, i thinks its about 1o000 bucks :S

[ridingforJesus]

What is the base price for these?

[publicaccount008]

the password to my account is "public"

[Hackerman963]

¡¡¡ǝuo ʇǝƃ ı op ǝɹǝɥʍ

[daizaki]

this looks like the new tech from microsoft... O_O

[thewseshow]

reminds me of the movie Minority Report

[twenty514]

niiiiiice, i love this! i like the pictures part, with the resizing and sifting through all the images. Cant wait for this technology to go mainstream!

[mrjceo1]

this is mainstream. i think theres an app on the iphone that can do the pic thing. its pretty sweet actually, infact, i was suprised that they had it, however this video was made in 2006. therefore it makes it possible for mac to have it.

[redsoxrock2268]

cool.

[hollowman113]

what is this song..its nice....its kinda deep housee-ish!!

[LastCynicStanding]

"Who Am I" by Peace Orchestra.

[tank987654]

i want that it would make everything to do with life funner and easier

[Grundalizer]

That is fucking insane. Are these commercially available? The map/google earth was great when it went 3-D, along with the interactive lava lamp. Absolutely awesome.

[LastCynicStanding]

Only for lots of dough. This tech is actually from the mid 90's.

[Nikg420]

love it

[ruin550]

I want one !!!

[JEREVOMPATTI]

Thats amazing! I want try one of those ;D

[sean6201]

cant wait to see PC games with this panel

like RTS games

[boogiebuddy01]

how do I make my mac a touchscreen?

[claatu]

look for Axiotron, they did the modbook based on the macbook.

[mandarinacuatica]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh­h!!!!!!!!!

[thepiolines]

Windows Surface is better

[pinko1975]

maybe they copied from these guys..who knows!

[smokiller]

i cud see this in my studio

[Pwndlol]

cough cough IPHONE

[smokiller]

this was here long b4 iphone.. why dont u ppl do research b4 u talk shit?

[Vivi596]

where was this music from plz!!!

[renzaura]

I know it's from AniMatrix and maybe more, 'cause it's cool. =)

Peace Orchestra - Who am I

[aqhillie]

This also has NOTHING TO DO with Microsoft Surface or whatever they are calling it. I believe the MS table uses cameras or sensors or something directly under the table to produce the effect. If they used this technology they would be infringing on Apple's patent.

[aqhillie]

Ok, I see some misinformation in here. Yes, it is true that this is not Apple research, but this IS the technology behind the iPhone.

Apple bought it from Jefferson Yan. It was announced before the iPhone was originally announced and then it further backed up the possibility of an iPod with a touch screen.

[jimilectrix]

Saw this first 2 years ago.... this is Apple research. was not intended for release as a product but to research touch use for smaller devices ie. iPod Touch / iPhone and future laptops !! Micr0$oft then took it up the wrong way ... started making a $10,000 table, which is already 6 months over due to rival a product Apple were never intending to release !!!! Good work Bill. Good work.

[OENS]

It is not apple technology. This is an old technology, it has nothing to do with the technology in the iphone.

[goalmaster08]

this is fucken amazing

[HerrTevik]

the technology behind this has been around for twenty years. It's about time we get to chuck the mouse and keyboard interface for something more intuitive, and with better interface options. The speed with which you manipulate a program would increase, I'm sure. And for us artists this is even better.

[pivot503]

omg

[widerangledotcom]

is this from microsoft research?

[mg115ca]

...

actually this guy started this way before Microsoft even announced the Surface.

[widerangledotcom]

oh yeah. thanks. i did a bit of research. this guy got employed by MSFT for work on the surface.

[wildpeaks]

and before the IPhone too

[DarthGamer76]

This is really cool and great tech, but imo it has no real use, like, what's the point of a touch screen desktop, u have 2 lean over more than u do now and what if u wanted to be away form screen, it would just be novelty. saying that though, i want one. =)

[obemalto]

are you kidding me? you obviously dont understand what kind off possibilities are introduced here. What I mean is that this begins to bridge the gap between what you think of as far as a user and a machine. with time you will begin to see that human activity will meld WITH computer activity. putting humans either in absolute control in the digital world or in less control? I dont know yet but you must begin to see what this can do for us. just wondering are you a digital artist?

[Labud89]

This is great!

[Xethean]

amazing thech!

[1stGoRide]

tech bro, TECH!

[furvert101]

when does that come out, and will it have an operating system like mac???

[MrMckizzle]

The name of the song:

"Who am I?", by Peter Kruder, Peace Orchestra (1999)

[OXiDatuOX]

peace orchestra - who am i (the song)

[oberlinelexium]

does anyone know the title and artist of the song??????

[tenforce]

woow, nice software, and the touches are grabbed by software without any time delay! thats cool, i think this technology can be used in many areas of life, like operations in the human body, or desining things very fast and easy..

[ronniecole55]

wow very cool

[dowling1981]

ronniecole55 - What is your opinion on the portention of Voltar?

[Akmedia3d]

Looks a lot like the new Microsoft Surface...

Is it google earth there?

[mg115ca]

i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure this was designed before the surface was announced, but after it was designed. perhaps they both thought it up at the same time.

[cerupcat]

This was out WAY before the MS surface was announced/designed. The video itself was posted more than a year before the surface was announced. Jeff Han has a much better grasp on multitouch technology than MS does.

[mg115ca]

i realize that the video was out a year or so before the surface was announced, I'm just saying that Bill probably didn't see this youtube video, go "hey let's do that" and a year later the surface was announced. It would probably take MS more than a year to come up with something like they did, and get it to a point where they would announce it to the public (Keep in mind this is MS we're talking about here, with them it's on time, good quality, cheap, pick none).

[Son1cPigZ]

this is some seriously cool looking stuff

[godzillaRB26DETT]

so, where do i buy one???

[DeathEverywhere]

Awesome!!!!!

[KARAKUSH05]

vayy anasını adamlar yapıyo yhaw...

[FPSSpectre]

i think im in love..

[rispectme]

Wonderful, I like it!!!

[bauel]

what the name of this music and artist?

[Til1976]

Who am i- from- peace orchestra

[bauel]

Thank you, very much!!

[250lespaul]

they need to make a nintendo DS that big lol

imagine playing mario or warioware on that lol

[krowa12345]

cool

[BloodEyeV]

I NEED IT!

[happytodd]

How does this work with ds though. Is it built in or the game chip to get this?

[n3oknife]

Is this like Microsoft Surface?

[nkm82]

Microsoft surface it's like this.

[happytodd]

How can ds lite do this? Why not classic :(

[lvcsslacker]

I don't think so.. the DS takes the average location between what's being touched. try it out.

[StrogenZalec9456]

That is so cool. I saw the other videos. TVs, consoles, cars, motorcycles- the future will be pretty sweet.

[trainfangirl]

THAT IS SO COOL! I want one!

[sethewood80]

these new screens are awesome. I want one!

[espioc]

Nintendo DS Lite is able to do that...

[pspslim]

DS lite can do that.

[redbird357]

this technology has been out before 2006.

[jsackmann]

Where can I get one of those?

[comgoran]

COOL

[tearbd2]

wow¡¡

[jathe5th]

which song is played in the background?

[perturbatio]

It's "Who am I?" by Peace Orchestra

[KiopGenJin]

LOL you mean in the "foreground"!

[XtcPOWER]

MAAAANNN ACID IS fuken werid shit my whol life has changed man

[KENNY1903]

that coooooooooooooooooooooooooooll­lllllll

[Justamit2501]

i thought apple made this for the iPhone!!!! maybe apple bought it from them...

[NCWeber]

Considering the size, it looks like Microsoft used this for their new Microsoft Surface system.

[Justamit2501]

yeah, probably theres, look @ at the company name, thats not a comapny, thats a project. your right. for sure.

[youtoob2006]

Wow.

[audi2drive]

where could I buy it?

It's pretty cool!

[chanfrado]

LOL

I think it will be a great trip! :P

[NDLaHam]

good music. animatrix dvd menu

[Phlo87]

great vid

[Turtleproof]

He zoomed in on Boston- it's another attack. Oh shit, This is worse than before!

[JoeSixtooth]

I've seen this one here long before I really knew Youtube and had been looking for it for a long time. Thanks!

It's awesome, I'm so curious to see what the videogame industry is gonna make out of that.

[dizavin]

they're not going to make anything with it. the technology was bought by Apple. its what you now see in the iPhone.

[chanfrado]

loool

[dizavin]

no... I'm serious. they're making a tablet with it.

[kingwill53]

preety damn awsome

[bassplayersrock2]

awesome! its amazing wat technology brings these days

[gib112]

What's the music? :o

[scottevil323]

"Who am I?", by Peter Kruder, Peace Orchestra (1999)

[gib112]

Thx a lot :)

[twitterific]

THANK YOU! I've been looking for this for awhile.

[shelina994117504]

awsome. I bet it worths $100 000 or more. haha

[ederagon333]

they could make asome games with this

[justcallmecloud]

I have to agree with you phase :(.

[blobbydob]

when does this come out?

[phase202]

i want 1 jus like everybody else....but something like that is gona cost your life to own.....they probably wont even let consumers have technology like that...it'll most likely end up going to military use or something :-(

[Cistane]

thats fuckin sick...i gotta get me one of them

[bdevore76]

This setup would be ideal for video editing. Think final cut v 11.

[imagination43]

that map one is awsome! that would be so good for police

[DierivotX]

Simply Amazing!!!!!

[InfoPoet]

I want.

[EggYolk]

lol people 100 years from now will laugh at that and say they thought THAT was the future?

[smaduro83]

cool techy stuff, the future is here, though it would be a big investment on glass cleaning products each year. lol

[NicleT]

Dear dear, When I think that my children will see this incredibly intuitive interface as an old-timer machine ! However, I can't wait to use one... When ????

[FaboIous]

WHERE DO I GET ONE

[seanmetcalf]

that is really great, that is really the next generation of technology, i hear that they have prototypes of a new ipod that has a small display like the one above that is touchscreen, really cool stuff

[snkjack]

Amazing!
