Multitouch technologie - blog.waag.org

In Pakhuis de Zwijger werd afgelopen week door Novay en CanTouch een bijeenkomst georganiseerd rond multitouch technologie, met als doel van gedachten te wisselen over hoe deze technologie zich zal (of zou moeten) ontwikkelen en welke toepassingsgebieden interessant zijn. Directe aanleiding vormt de Surface multitouch tafel van Microsoft, die inmiddels beschikbaar is. Op de afgelopen PICNIC was de tafel al te zien en diverse toepassingen van multitouch ( Mobypicture bijvoorbeeld): In de Adformatie van vorige week stond in een interessant artikel over het onderwerp. In het artikel is Franklin Heijnen van internetbureau Mirabeau aan het woord, over onder andere de toepassing van de tafel bij de bibliotheek: http://blog.waag.org/?p=2273

Touchwall: Microsoft’s Inexpensive Wall-Based Multi-Touch Interface

http://techcrunch.com/2008/05/14/microsoft-touchwall-can-inexpensively-turn-any-flat-surface-into-a-multi-touch-display/ Bill Gates will demo a new multi-touch computer and interface today called TouchWall at the Microsoft CEO Summit in Redmond. TouchWall refers to the touch screen hardware setup itself; the corresponding software to run TouchWall, which is built on a standard version of Vista, is called Plex. TouchWall and Plex are superficially similar to Microsoft Surface , a multi-touch table computer that was introduced in 2007 and which recently became commercially available in select AT&T stores.
There are now waves of new learning products hitting the global education and training industry. On the surface it appears like open source technology is the most significant wave. It is certainly getting the most attention. Yet, a "big-picture" analysis reveals that open source products are just part of the story. There are larger socio-economic trends at work that transcend open source. These trends can be conceived as a concurrent series of innovation waves that go beyond the concepts and business models of open source software licenses.

uitous Computing

Ubiquitous computing names the third wave in computing, just now beginning. First were mainframes, each shared by lots of people. Now we are in the personal computing era, person and machine staring uneasily at each other across the desktop. Next comes ubiquitous computing, or the age of calm technology , when technology recedes into the background of our lives. Alan Kay of Apple calls this "Third Paradigm" computing.
