This is the Table Connect, a rather wonderful-looking hardware hack which connects an iPhone to a 58-inch capacitive multi-touch display, allowing full control of the IPhone’s navigation functions, only using hands instead of fingers. Or is it? Look closely and you’ll see that the demo-guy presses the sleep-button on the top of the iPhone as [...]
From iPhone to multi-touch tables, the leap has now been made to a touch-sensitive floor. The researchers are presenting their work at a user interface conference in New York next month. While multi-touch screens are becoming more and more commonplace, German researchers are now working on integrating this same technology into floors. Users would interact [...]
In April, NEC announced plans to release a 3D all-in-one (AIO) desktop PC sometime this year. In the all-in-one world, the MSI Wind Top 2420 3D can be considered an overachiever. Not content with merely offering a stereoscopic display, this PC is going for broke by incorporating multitouch capabilities as well. They were probably hoping to [...]
Here’s yet another thing the iPhone can do: it’s a universal remote. This ThinkFlood RedEye system includes a dock that communicates with your iPhone via WiFi, creating those infrared (IR) signals that your AV components obey. Like our favorite Logitech Harmony 900 remote, the RedEye’s macro operation is sophisticated, letting you create “actions” that turn [...]
My daughter stopped by the office and I couldn’t help but let her play with the TouchSmart PC and BabySmash. What’s interesting is that she immediately goes for multi-touch and it looks as if the commands are translated to a “zoom” button on the keyboard being pressed etc.
The Asus Eee PC T91, which we fondled fondly at CES, has a few new tricks up its sleeve in the multitouch and Windows 7 department, but sadly these features won’t make it in time for launch this month. Previously, we knew about the netbook’s touchscreen and hefty £449 ($670) price tag (for an Atom-based [...]

You may know Jeff Han, you’ve probably seen his company Perceptive Pixel’s Interactive Media Wall / Multi-touch Collaboration Wall, but the missing link to this stuff is taking it home. Well, the wait is apparently over, and for once it’s Neiman Marcus we’ve got to thank. While you’re shopping for the latest must-have fall fashions, [...]
LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2008 – Bordeaux, France-based JazzMutant, a pioneer developer of multi-touch sensing technology, announced today at the International CES that it is launching an OEM business unit in response to a growing demand for its multi-touch solutions by electronic device manufacturers and third-party system integrators. In addition, the company is being renamed [...]
