Multi-Touchscreen Interaction — Future of Computing? 10.02.2006
Will Multi-Touch interaction on a touchscreen be the future of computing?
At least Jefferson Y. Han and his colleagues Philip L. Davidson, Casey M.R. Muller and Ilya D. Rosenberg are
experimenting with a wide variety of application scenarios and interaction modalities that utilize multi-touch input information. These go far beyond the “poking” actions you get with a typical touchscreen, or the gross gesturing found in video-based interactive interfaces. It is a rich area for research, and we are extremely excited by its potential for advances in efficiency, usability, and intuitiveness.
