Touch screens that touch back

user interfacesA strong trend in technology is natural user interfaces that let people interact with computers in an intuitive way. Think Segway and multitouch. I just found this demo of a touch interface that actually “touches you back”, that is can be programmed to feel like different structures. Cool. It will be interesting to see how fast this technology can be incorporated in mainstream technology.

Yours faithfully,

Sifteo cubes – a glimpse of the future of computer interfaces

Most people think that all computers have screens and keyboards but forget that everyday objects such as cars contain a huge number of processors interacting with each others and with the environment around them.

Then, take 5 minutes to brainstorm how the Sifteo technology could be used to improve the customer experience in your field of business. Comments Off
