@pprofitt2 -mind explodes-

[shon231]

men! stop moving!

[s3xcr3w]

nice

[gentlefury]

wonder if he ever realized where this would lead....he wanted this to be the future of computer interaction...think he ever imagined Apple would try to monopolize this tech?

[romxxii]

@gentlefury monopolizing the tech implies that no other manufacturers are doing it. Multitouch interfaces are included in a lot of products sold not by Apple, but by other companies.

It's more accurate to state that Apple made the technology popular enough that it's become a standard feature for smartphones and other mobile devices.

Lastly, based on his comments from a Popular Science interview, he hoped that the technology would become available at the consumer level. So he's probably happy.

[xiocx1]

cool awesome***

[janlaureys9]

I'd still prefer a real keyboard though...

[oskoret]

I want one of these!

[kakudmi]

Horrid inventions. Waste of human intelligence. Waste of time. Give us something we can actually use, biologically, like, healthy food, water and air.

[kakudmi]

I comment because I feel I have something to say, just like you do. If I stop commenting, will you stop as well? I do exactly what I want to do, I give seminars and write a book, as well as present my ideas on youtube just like this video. We always evolve and everything changes. Why do you believe we would stop? And what have we gained with this new technology? If I don't communicate my ideas with other, then this Internet is useless. You're sitting at your computer as well. Why criticizing me?

[kakudmi]

But to get computers we must rape nature and resources and have this whole industry to back it up.There are all kinds of necessities, some of them are made up and some of them are imposed by nature.I never said water and air are technologies.You seem to like criticizing persons you never met by pointing out things that you do yourself. You said we would be at the same period of time forever, which is nonsense. What is the point of assuming and criticizing? I guess you enjoy it. I don't. Thanx.

[TheAmefist]

I said if and what a hypocritical statement you just made; the first comment you made implied that what he did was a waste. Just because a computer needs materials to be made doesn't mean its not useful.Think before you communicate once again. By the way what is the point of criticizing a man's ideas? Yes, I criticized you for commenting blatantly. When you criticize someone's ideas it's a whole other playing field. I'd like to end this discussion now it's become rather childish.

[themariokartcheater]

i usualy dont click see all comments so leave me alone

[themariokartcheater]

water and air is technology

[fckthatshit]

what does he say there about google, i dont get the joke man:/

[crippanda6]

he was saying google should have something like the lava application on a touch screen in their because google has alot of cool stuff in their lobby

[themariokartcheater]

u know if

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

"There's no interface here..."

*reaches up and clicks a button on the interface*

[bytedildo]

i would never replace my keyboard!

[el19823101]

and yes he makes the satan symbol ...anyone notice

[50kT]

its because he works for greys controlled by demons

[ubctango]

Then he drew a snake. Coincidence? I think not my friend.

[calvinkleinmba]

congrats to Jeff! this is the perfect example of working hard to make the american dream come true! i'll bet he's making millions now off of every iPod touch and iPhone out there!

[matt1746]

That's right: Apple invented the multi-touch interface.

In the video he mentions that the technology has been around since the 80s.

[calvinkleinmba]

Apple did NOT invent this you dumbass.

[matt1746]

It's sarcasm you imbecile.

[themariokartcheater]

apple did not invent multi touch screen

[matt1746]

Are you blind? I explicitly stated that this post was sarcasm just above yours.

[ngard777]

terrific!!!

[hoomelemele]

that was so cool, my mouth is still hanging open.

[someman7]

I like when ppl laughed when he said "Of course we can bring up a keyboard". The laguhter says all of what I wanted to say about the speaker's "This is the future" stance.

I understand how this is... umm... cool? Or even useful for certain things. But labeling it a killer of traditional GUI is pretencious. He has just demonstrated its use in graphics, but there's a lot of user interface to replace/create anew.

[evil221884]

can you make the screen smaller so it fits in my pocket as small as a hone ??? then make it bigger when i want to use it as a desktop screen?? .......i hate fixed screen sizes!!

[evil221884]

*phone

[themariokartcheater]

u idiot this isnt startrek

[evil221884]

not star trek?? your a wanker...not that i watch it but heaps of inventions come from sci-fi originally

[masterkudjo]

Enough banter, lets get to business. Were can I get this, FOR FREE. AHAHHAHAHA

[lalitoGUM]

04:50 maybe thats the way how the universe was create. Or maybe this guys is some kind of god for the tiny little ppl who lives now in those circles, wich for them tooks a tons of years, for us was like a minute, but its all about relativity

[Kipsass]

cool :)

[tripkings420]

this will be awsome for artists both musicaly and visual, how much will this cost tho a cuple grand or like 15k :|

[DrakeDun]

Holy shit that's cool. It's a good period of history to be alive in.

[DetroitShadows]

Wow, thats amazing

[dustonio2]

iphone much?

[robillard130]

except this is from feb 2006

[2woTuffVids]

he made this before the iphone, douche appritiate true inavation

[hadjimar16]

like some1 said this was maid before the iphone

[SonikBlu23]

indeed.

[themariokartcheater]

this was before iphone

[ArtscopeMusic]

i want one! I've been wanting something like this for years to make music composition a much more intuitive process than mouse clicking.

[heathfiedler]

i agree like with photo shop and what not this should make plenty of advancements in technology

[librano]

yay for opensource!!

[squeekypig]

it did the last bit twice...

[watzupdawg]

If you want see stuff like this every day all you need to do is enrol in Media Lab at MIT. I saw this about 4 years ago.

[djfilitico]

all you need to do is enroll at MIT media Lab...that's cute

[Eskrima06]

im just what would happen if this technology expand in the gaming industry?

[LSLencrypted]

for once you'd get some AWESOME real time strategy games ;D

[hadjimar16]

awesome RPG games too

[Sovieto]

id hate it, i would want to rest my arms/hands somwhere without acitivating osmething

[Laughamongous]

Parts of this are interesting; other parts flawed. I liked the manipulation of the topographic map(s), but the problems with touch screens are well known: no tactile feedback, sight-impaired users may find an interface based on this totally unusable, fingerprints on the screen... stuff like that. Personally, I wouldn't like having to touch glass/flat plastic 8 hours/day, in order to interact with the machine.

[bitRAKE]

I own a Toughbook laptop with a touch screen and my experience is that it works better than first thought. Some application naturally work better with touch while others would need significant change to be as effective as using a keyboard/mouse.

[myeuronews]

thats why i love XGL for Linux :-D

[drsorrow]

Apple stole this idea

[astroflex]

reminds me of the movie "Minority Report"

[InfiniteSword]

this technology is awsome

[jackk763]

Try typing for ten hours.

[GregWatermann]

Beautiful.

[teletub]

This is stupid. It takes too much physical work. Try dancing your fingers around for 10 hours.

[scoinva]

Amazing. It's fun to see the future before it gets here.

[chiana1980]

I can NOT wait until this is 'old' technology and I can afford it :) its SWEET... I bet its gonna to wonders for animators....and of course many other professions

[pr0w3ss]

friggin sweet
