Could This Be The End Of The Mouse and Keyboard?

This might be old news but it’s new to me. Just watching the video made me think that the hand-manipulating of data was so ‘god-like’. It looks practical and I am sure with gloves, one will not sandpaper down their finger tips. More on “Multi-Touch Interaction Research” can be found at http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/

From the researcher’s website:

“While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops.”
