Novas pantallas táctiles

Última actualización o 24 / Xaneiro/ 2007

Jeff Han dirixe ao grupo que está desenvolvendo esta prodixiosa técnica de interacción home-máquina. Aínda que as pantallas sensíbeis son habituais dende hai anos, a experiencia táctil sempre foi bastante imprecisa e bruta. O traballo deste grupo de investigación é diferente:

While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops. (…)

Our technique is force-sensitive, and provides unprecedented resolution and scalability, allowing us to create sophisticated multi-point widgets for applications large enough to accommode both hands and multiple users.
