I watched a video on ted.com of a man named Jeff Han as he demonstrates to an audience how to operate a spectacular touchscreen that he has recently created. This new device, which Han is still currently developing at NYU is a multi-touch screen that holds a countless number of purposes. It proves to be an extremely innovative and unique invention because there is no interface or instructions required in order to use it. Multiple points can be touched on the screen at one time whether the user is utilizing two hands, two fingers, or even all ten fingers simultaneously. The quality of the screen is high resolution. One of the best aspects of this device is that it is low in cost cost and very scalable. It is completely intuitive and multiple users can interact with it at the same time.
Some of the interesting and useful things that can be done with it is that you can pull up a keyboard if needed or arrange multiple photos at a time. Images on the displayed on the screen can easily be manipulated with a simple touch of the finger almost like a piece of artwork. Video game designers will most likely soon modify games in order to keep them compatible with this digital screen. Todd Baxter, one of the viewers who left a comment on the discussion board, had a great point when he stated that this screen will serve as an excellent tool to help children on the Autistic Spectrum. Computer apps can be made to teach children how to form social interaction between all people involved using the screen. Artists are also very excited about this new development because its leading a way to a future of digital art without the restriction of a mouse and the freedom to use both hands.
With the many apps that are currently available today, this screen will completely change the world of graphic design, media design, home and business projects completed.
