Microsoft shows off multitouch sensor prototype
2008-05-29 12:13:00 Slashdot It!Microsoft researchers on Thursday demonstrated a new, low-cost method for manipulating a digital desktop or wall display with two hands.Called LaserTouch, the prototype is the latest invention of computer vision specialist Andy Wilson, a researcher from Microsoft Research's Redmond, Wash., campus. Wilson has worked on Microsoft's Surface computing, among other projects. But more recently he's developed a sensing technology system that would allow people to retrofit any display--e.g., a desktop or projector--so that they could use their hands, instead of a mouse, to interact with the computer.The system uses a low-cost infrared camera and lasers to track how the user touches the screen in order to prompt a response from the software. The result could be a virtual chess game with a friend over a networked computer, or a better way to show off a PowerPoint presentation, Wilson said."It's a simple technique," Wilson said Thursday during a presentation of the prototype.

Multitouch Keyboard Coming?
2007-11-26 18:13:00 I am not one to spend my time reading and regurgitating Apple rumors, but just before I bought my iPhone I wanted to make sure that there wasn’t a new version days away from release. While I was poking around MacRumors I found the following tidbit, and I felt like posting it because of how interesting this would be. This is referring to the above pictured keyboard, the TouchStream keyboard, created by Fingerworks, a company acquired by Apple in 2005 and the brains behind Multitouch : While this design is space-efficient, the use of one surface to accomplish both typing and touch-sensing is less than ideal. Apple notes that traditionally, membrane or surface keyboards used raised ridges to denote key edges, however, this disrupts the surface when it is used as a touch device. Meanwhile, users have a hard time typing on a completely flat surface, so some form of key detection needs to be offered. The solution they come up with is quite interesting. They go through the motions...
