Multi-touch surface computing

Published by Bruce on June 5, 2007 in Quicklinks. Tags: Gadgets, iphone, Quicklinks.

Multi-touch interfaces (recognition of multiple points of contact on a touch-screen) are set to be the next big thing. The recently announced Microsoft Surface looks like an impressive concept; check out this illuminating first-look video featuring wireless interaction. On a smaller scale, Apple's forthcoming iPhone also supports multi-touch e.g. use of a "pinching" movement to zoom a photo.

So cool! So I wonder who will sue whom first? :)

Who will sue first? Some previously unknown company who took out a patent on "touching things", that has waited silently until somebody else makes money from an idea that said company couldn't bring to the market. Isn't that how it works?

Something to say?
