Jeff Han on advances in human-computer interfaces
Some time back I rather stumbled across a fascinating site filled with videos of 10-15 minute long talks on a huge variety of topics. The site is called TED.com and it’s worth a look or two. You’ll find people talking about politics (yes, there’s an Al Gore video about climate change), science, math, psychology, business, and technology. Today, I ran across this one by Jeff Han regarding a new multi-point touch-screen tech he’s been working on.
The screen allows a truly intuitive control of the interface and permits multiple points of touch. This, in turn, permits a user to form more complex gestures than a simple touch or drag. It’s just about 9 minutes long and it’s a pretty cool look into the future. I’d love to have one of these myself right now!
