EVE Online - Touch Screen Experiment

Got bored at work (quiet day), SOOOO!!! decided to install eve client on our POS system and see what it was like with a touch screen. PC is a bit low spec so lags a bit. Other than that not bad. Issue trying to 'tap' an icon in space and usually had to use the overview (i got fat fingers basically). If the icons were a bit bigger then not a problem. P.S. Im using the Nokia n95 and i aint no Speilberg so appologies for the quality.

Forgot id even done this. lol But Guys i know its juddery and the graphics suck, but i used an EPOS system that i had in the office at the time. For those of you that dont know what an EPOS is, its an Electronic point of sale, IE a cash register like the ones you get in supermarkets. It had 512 Mb Ram and some pathertic basic display that was only meant to shop the price of bananas. Just wanted to try it out is all. Was bored one day :)

Its not my main PC that i built myself which has dual 8800GT's in SLi AFR mode, 4 GIG Ram, AMD 64 QUAD Core, and a 80 GIB Solid state HDD (like the Ramsan ones used for the eve server)

cant right click. thats the only setback i found. (kinda a major component of the game but hey, thats what experiments are for)

[MagicDucky]

cool, but you need a better comp :).

I used an old EPOS system. Did say in the description. Unfortunatly i dont have £500 for a touchscreen TFT to hand to try it out:) lolz.

Oh and a keyboard.

[Disturbed246810]

Needs: right click, better CPU, better RAM, better video card, anti-aitling (can't spell) and a bigger screen. :3

[GrayPhantom13]

[simonedday]

"How much are these bananas?"

500,000 ISK....i mean 2 dollars. Yea its a rip off, go away so i can play EVE!

Very original, and a unique concept. EVE with touch screen much be very immersive compared to mouse, although I can't cee it being more fluid and useful until there is a dedicated touch screen UI.
