so, i was looking into the lemur as something to use to control live performances via a touch screen and got really into some of the technology used. so, i started digging deeper to see what else was out there. i had seen microsoft’s multi-touch coffee table some time ago, but as with most things microsoft, who knows when it will be out and how buggy it will be. then i stumbled upon this multi-touch device. watch the video on the right side of the page. i’ve always hated interfacing with a computer, even though that’s what i do to earn a living, and this is getting closer to how i would like to interact. i think voice commanding and this multi-touch approach are great ways to interact with our binary data friends. i can only imagine what form of interaction we will have as evolution puts us and machine together. if you’ve ever read any of ray kurzweil’s stuff, we don’t have much time left waiting.
