I saw this video 4 years ago and thought wow that is neat. Now I have a no tower large touch screen desk top computer. I think it came pretty fast to the market like now it is in the iphone. The touch screen is great to use along side my keyboard and mouse. Using just the touch screen alone is not pratical, but I can use it to easily scrol down a page like this one and not use the mouse. To type the keyboard is better than using the on screen touch keyboard.
@si577 You have to consider that this thing cannot Be compared with todays tablets , there was a huge progress think about the mobility (battery/Dataconnection/memory/software efficiency....) So definitively progress there ;-)
Someone below me had a good point. It's hilarious that we think the ipad is so amazing and revolutionary when this was five years ago. We havnt made much progress.
I watched a video today on bbc website about a new revolutionary touch screen device which allows multi touch... its not even pressure sensitive! This is sooo much better!
Using the touch technology for making knowledge of different people come together - that will be the next big thing.
@WikiWall is one approach we have started here in Dresden and we are looking for supporters to develop this idea further. Especially for crisis management this opens new opportunities (myself I have been engaged as project leader in such an environment).

@defect530 you mean like actual laser beams in mid air, kinda like the fukin resident evil girl thing that pops up in 3d? that il be badass!!! then will cybersex rule the world!!!!
@antagony69 no, there is this guy who invented a program that lets you use a projector, web cam, and tape on your fingers. it's like using an ipad but on any surface. there is a 'TEDtalks' lecture about it.
the iphone came out in 2008, right? seems to be pretty much based on the work these guys did here. so the apple engineers were actually the only ones seeing the significance of multitouch and how to build a market on it. makes you really think... why are all the other big consumer-market companies so asleep? especially sony and microsoft.. surface? hello? we're talking about impact here..
@SupaSpiderMonkey ahhaa. i dont think anybody believes that he INVENTED multi touch. apple perfected it. find a product today that has better multitouch products than apple.
They're possibly not complete fuktards like you and can actually differentiate between APPLICATION AREAS, aside from the fact that it's not even TRUE that Apple has that patent... but hey, as long as you can flaunt your idiocy on youtube to anonymously suggest to the world you have some sort of CLUE to give your otherwise dismal existence some meaning, all's good, eh?
I'm guessing this is the creator of the iPhone screen that I'm typing this with. Excellent job. This is a masterpiece and I can not wait for a CAD program for the ipad.

@redrainier This is not a personal preference :) There is a whole science build around body movements at a workplace and how to minimize effort to do something. I don't know exactly how its title is in English, literal translation would be "economy of movement". I don't say that thsi technology won't be useful and fun! I'm just saying that user has to put in much more energy than with mouse. I've tried multitouch interface and I love it. Wouldn't use it for every day work though ...
The economy of movement argument you make doesn't quite make sense; the ease of navigation with multitouch requres MUCH more effort with a keyboard and mouse...imagine zooming in and out to navigate through files instead of clicking on each one for instance
I don't see why you couldn't have both so that once your wrist gets tired you could use your arms to do the work to avoid carpel tunnel syndrome. And once your arms got tired you could go back to using a mouse again! And if you say it won't replace mouses altogether, it's quite possible that something will eventually what with all the motion sensing technology that's continually coming out.
I can see mice and fisical keyboards in museum shelves...we see all these technology in movies and is becoming reality...I think it won't be or be used as the ones in movies but it will change how people interact with machines. I'm an architect and I look forward to have one of these as a drawing board and be able to design in 2D & 3D without having to use a mouse. People are afraid to change but not many people understand how much we have changed in 50 years....bring it on!!!
playing with data in 3d is better we all have large hard drives, i want to drive threw my data and look at it all as if a page was a building.and if i am looking hard and need it now i want to fly around a map looking for pages files movies ect.
@AppleSoldier and @SupaSpiderMonkey ... Actually, I'm pretty sure neither of them invented multi-touch. Both Apple and Microsoft simply build products with this capability, and use it to create a new user experience; "Table Computing" as it is sometimes referred to. All of you fanboys need to chill out, take things what they are and buy what works for you. I use Windows & Linux for my desktop/laptops, but I love my iTouch and use it a lot and I use the Evo 4g as my phone. Use what you like. =P

@AppleSoldier Microsoft and Perceptive Pixel did the groundwork. Microsoft is very bad at bringing ideas to the market. They do great stuff but fail at making it usable for a broad audience. Apple never invents anything, they just take existing stuff and bring it to the market, that's what they're good at.
i was playing around with a microsoft surface a few days ago, and it wasn't really what i had expected after seeing the ads and other videos. The problem with it is that it was slow and clunky, and at times unresponsive, this however looks like it would be really fun to play around with.
Iphone didn't copy they bought the part. Apples Iphone touch screen is never innovative its just the software that drives the touch screen, thats why alot of handsets are slow and clunky but the iphone is smooth and silky.
I've seen ads from Cypress homepage, and they claim that they currently have the chip capable of detecting up to 10 points of multi-touch input. It uses capacitive touchscreen if I'm not mistaken. Still can't figure how they could scan that matrix. Quantom Touch uses a technology called spread-spectrum, but it's just for better noise immunity.

i always love watching this video. kudos to Jeff Han and his researchers. What would apple do without your innovation? Hope you patented it and charged apple!
iPhone didn't copy them... Multi-touch had been done before, just not in a practical fashion, the iPhone was the first to do it in a practical fashion (and still IMO the only one to be practical). Still, good vid.
yeah totally understand. don't understand why apple gets the patent for multi-touch computing when jeff is a forerunner for the technology. greed, apple. greed.
the new technology like multi-touch is so amazing, and i think it will lead the development of computer, especially on the field of research on human computer interface
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
touch screen devices are going to go nowhere...trust me...they suck...what's the point when I can easily do the things I want without them and with much cheaper peripherals...maybe they want to turn us all into monkeys so we just touch things and buy things...
oh wow you dont have to use a mouse anymore....a mouse is less complicated than this mess of bullshit, ill admit it looks cool....but imagine running a computer without a keyboard and a mouse and using all touch screen bullshit its retarded. not to mention your arms and hands are moving constantly to just read some fuckin mail fuck this shit its USELESS. Cool, but useless.
I've heard mouses used before, regardless of whether or not it's a real word. There are hundreds of 'not real' words that are used today. Anyways, this is a really cool technology and we should stop arguing over my original comment. Stop complaining about something I said and get a real life. Also, don't try to turn that back on me because I was just defending myself.
Just becaues you hear something you think might be a word doesn't make it so.... "Mouses" is NOT a word in the English language.. Mouse is singular and Mice is plural. This is 3rd grade stuff.....
All right. I think that we can both be mature about this. I'm sorry I got mad.
Anyways, this is awesome. For the people that think this is more complicated than using a mouse, I strongly disagree. I hope this becomes mainstream with all major manufacturers. :D
I agree; this is an important step in the right direction for "Human Interface Devices." I wouldn't say it's more complicated than a mouse by any means, but I also think it will be quite some time (if ever) before this technology will "replace" mice. There are plenty of things you can do with a mouse that you couldn't easily do with touch. (Gaming, for instance.)
I would definitely agree. While it may be easier to get into this technology for people that have never used computers or are older(like older parents, grandparents, immigrants), but for the classic mouse user many things would be harder virtually impossible like gaming. A RTS could be easily played on this, but not a FPS.
It'd be interesting to see what OS(s) get this tech first. Apple? Microsoft? Looks like some serious graphics pwnage to me and I'll be investing in this stuff when it becomes available for sure.
I like this stuff a lot, I have had it on my iPhone for more than a year. It's not really "tech" though, it's just a technique of doing the same thing people have been doing for a long time.
By the way, the keyboard isn't going to be killed by this kind of thing. Lack of feedback makes any on-screen keyboard useless for any serious typing.
I hear ya on that this kind of tech has been around for some time. Touch-screen interactive technology is as old me for fuck sake and I'm 27. In fact Multi-Touch was developed in 1982, a whole whopping year after i was born!!! Shit man, why the fuck do we have to wait 20 or more years for new and awesome technology? Business politics is bullshit in my opinion.
Could he add texture to it? I mean it would be very difficult to control such things on the screen without the conventional sense of frictional touch on it. You will have to depend totally on your vision to determine whether you have "grab" a hold of things successfully, which puts a great burden on the eyes. You may went tired easily by over-burdening your visual centers of the brain too much.
Microsoft is developing Windows 7. Windows 7 is going to have multi-touch built in to the interface and experience of windows.
Microsoft also has a product offering called Surface (you should check it out on here on youtube) that is basically what you see here, though though Surface uses what I believe to be inferior technology.
I saw this demonstration, or one similar, about 1 year ago. I believe Apple owns the rights, but I might be wrong. If I'm wrong then they own the rights to something as good.
By replacing computers, I meant replacing modern computers. Computers are defined by their interface, so therefore if it replaced modern computers, it would be replacing that input.
Same way Apples replaced the computer (i.e. Microsoft Computer) by reinventing the input system.
You can also build the multi touch hardware yourself. All you need is a webcam, semi-transparent cardboard, and a box. Put the Webcam inside the box and cover it with the semi-transparent board. Have light shine onto your hand so it projects the shadow to the board. The finger tips suppose to show the closest color of a human skin color. Write a computer code to track the finger tips color movement, you now have a multi touch interface.
I own this technology now...just last year...WHAT TOOK SO LONG!!!!

iPhone didn't copy them... Multi-touch had been done before, just not in a practical fashion, the iPhone was the first to do it in a practical fashion (and still IMO the only one to be practical). Still, good vid.

Are you kidding? what about iPods and iPhones?
rakoon3434 2 years ago
right ipod and iphone already do
DarkS3phiroth17 2 years ago
um check the date. they did this before iphone even existed... and he even mentions this technology has been available since the 80s.
wturnerharris 2 years ago 4
yeah i know, i just saying that apple with iphone/ipod touch, is the first company that have bring this to people..
of course the idea was old already, and in this video we see a good demo
DarkS3phiroth17 2 years ago
yeah totally understand. don't understand why apple gets the patent for multi-touch computing when jeff is a forerunner for the technology. greed, apple. greed.

indy1605 3 years ago 2
This comment has received too many negative votes show
touch screen devices are going to go nowhere...trust me...they suck...what's the point when I can easily do the things I want without them and with much cheaper peripherals...maybe they want to turn us all into monkeys so we just touch things and buy things...

... people probably thought like this about the mouse when it was first introduced...
rooqirulz 3 years ago 5
oh wow you dont have to use a mouse anymore....a mouse is less complicated than this mess of bullshit, ill admit it looks cool....but imagine running a computer without a keyboard and a mouse and using all touch screen bullshit its retarded. not to mention your arms and hands are moving constantly to just read some fuckin mail fuck this shit its USELESS. Cool, but useless.

GuestUSUT 3 years ago
EEEEEHHHHHTTTT! WRONG!!! Try Xerox. :)
First Mac was 1984. Xerox had a mouse on their "Star" system in 1981.
And it's "Mice," not "mouses."
jeffillinois 3 years ago
It's not EEEEEHHHHHTTTT!, it's 'you're wrong'. Learn how to spell real words instead of spasm and baby words. At least I misspell real words.
GuestUSUT 3 years ago
My point was that you still had your facts wrong. And "mouses" is not a word, so it wasn't simply "mis-spelled."
jeffillinois 3 years ago
I've heard mouses used before, regardless of whether or not it's a real word. There are hundreds of 'not real' words that are used today. Anyways, this is a really cool technology and we should stop arguing over my original comment. Stop complaining about something I said and get a real life. Also, don't try to turn that back on me because I was just defending myself.
GuestUSUT 3 years ago
Just becaues you hear something you think might be a word doesn't make it so.... "Mouses" is NOT a word in the English language.. Mouse is singular and Mice is plural. This is 3rd grade stuff.....
I agree, the technology is great! :)
jeffillinois 3 years ago
All right. I think that we can both be mature about this. I'm sorry I got mad.
Anyways, this is awesome. For the people that think this is more complicated than using a mouse, I strongly disagree. I hope this becomes mainstream with all major manufacturers. :D
GuestUSUT 3 years ago
I agree; this is an important step in the right direction for "Human Interface Devices." I wouldn't say it's more complicated than a mouse by any means, but I also think it will be quite some time (if ever) before this technology will "replace" mice. There are plenty of things you can do with a mouse that you couldn't easily do with touch. (Gaming, for instance.)
jeffillinois 3 years ago
I would definitely agree. While it may be easier to get into this technology for people that have never used computers or are older(like older parents, grandparents, immigrants), but for the classic mouse user many things would be harder virtually impossible like gaming. A RTS could be easily played on this, but not a FPS.
GuestUSUT 3 years ago
It'd be interesting to see what OS(s) get this tech first. Apple? Microsoft? Looks like some serious graphics pwnage to me and I'll be investing in this stuff when it becomes available for sure.
VictorDTarsus 3 years ago
I like this stuff a lot, I have had it on my iPhone for more than a year. It's not really "tech" though, it's just a technique of doing the same thing people have been doing for a long time.
By the way, the keyboard isn't going to be killed by this kind of thing. Lack of feedback makes any on-screen keyboard useless for any serious typing.
MrSubtle 3 years ago
I hear ya on that this kind of tech has been around for some time. Touch-screen interactive technology is as old me for fuck sake and I'm 27. In fact Multi-Touch was developed in 1982, a whole whopping year after i was born!!! Shit man, why the fuck do we have to wait 20 or more years for new and awesome technology? Business politics is bullshit in my opinion.
VictorDTarsus 3 years ago
Could he add texture to it? I mean it would be very difficult to control such things on the screen without the conventional sense of frictional touch on it. You will have to depend totally on your vision to determine whether you have "grab" a hold of things successfully, which puts a great burden on the eyes. You may went tired easily by over-burdening your visual centers of the brain too much.

Microsoft is developing Windows 7. Windows 7 is going to have multi-touch built in to the interface and experience of windows.
Microsoft also has a product offering called Surface (you should check it out on here on youtube) that is basically what you see here, though though Surface uses what I believe to be inferior technology.
devinkylebrown 3 years ago
Jeff han uses FTIR, MS surface uses Diffused Illumination as in my multitouch table.

I saw this demonstration, or one similar, about 1 year ago. I believe Apple owns the rights, but I might be wrong. If I'm wrong then they own the rights to something as good.

GuestUSUT 3 years ago
it is still a computer dork. just a new type of input interface
eletriodgenesis 3 years ago 2
By replacing computers, I meant replacing modern computers. Computers are defined by their interface, so therefore if it replaced modern computers, it would be replacing that input.
Same way Apples replaced the computer (i.e. Microsoft Computer) by reinventing the input system.
GuestUSUT 3 years ago
You can also build the multi touch hardware yourself. All you need is a webcam, semi-transparent cardboard, and a box. Put the Webcam inside the box and cover it with the semi-transparent board. Have light shine onto your hand so it projects the shadow to the board. The finger tips suppose to show the closest color of a human skin color. Write a computer code to track the finger tips color movement, you now have a multi touch interface.
