Now, you may first say "But fabian, we already have touch screen. Whats so special about these?"
The answer is simple. While we do have touch-screen already, those touch-screen only allow one input at a time. So no matter how many figures you put on the screen, only one of them will work.
These new touch screens allow for an unlimited number of inputs on the screen, meaning you can use your whole hand to manipulate things on the screen.

Apple bought some of this technology and you will be seeing this in their iPhone, when it is released.

And just a few hours ago, this was released from Microsoft:

This is quickly becoming a common piece of tech, instead of just an expensive toy that those at MIT get to play with.

Omg! That is like OMG! Very sexy!

It does look good and interesting playing that way, alot more interactive in my opinion.

Omg! That is like OMG! Very sexy!

Then you're sad.

Sad? o.0? wtf??

And thus, the transition between Star Trek and The Next generation began...

But seriously, this is really cool.

Seen it before, but yeah, that is awesome.

Wow...that's awesome...:eye: I would like to see an MMO with those things needed...*thinks*...yeah it's kinda impossible...

The rise of the touchscreen games.. finally.. the gamers will grow some muscles!
nerds w/ muscles ftw.. only upper body though.. so johnny bravo is a touchscreen gamer..?

dude this is rather old....i saw something like this in japan and taiwan 5 years ago...thou it was PC Muti-control touch screen not table tops...

Tech has been around for awhile, but will be very nice when it finally hits the consumer market. I am very ready to live in the Gibson Age myself.

Unbelivable O_O, Next thing you know they gonna invent same thing but you gonna touch everything like you see it. O_O

Looks dope, i'd like that for SC.

So cool. I'd buy myself one if I have the money lol. First, the IR keyboard for my PDA etc, now this...it's just like Star Wars...all we need now is the holographic phone...that would pwn lol.

Soooooooooo coooooooool!I want it!

dude this is rather old....i saw something like this in japan and taiwan 5 years ago...thou it was PC Muti-control touch screen not table tops...

yea, I didn't say it was new. What is new is that it's quickly making a move to the consumer market, our market.

That MS thing is brand new too. It was just announced last night.

You can buy one for a dirt cheap price of $10,000. You can get blue screen errors, in order to avoid them you need to buy the Microsoft Table: Vista for a reasonable fee of $50,000.

Looks dope, i'd like that for SC.

That would so rock. Would put a whole new spin on military rts games.

ooh, ooh, ooh, imagin a space style rts games with this stuff.


hmmm . . . imagin pr0n with this stuff.

edit: After looking at the Microsoft link, I just realized that this is the same tech they used for the very fancy sound mixing tables (can be found on youtube, but I no longer have link).

hmmm . . . imagin pr0n with this stuff.

I guess I wasn't the only one thinking that.

What is new is that it's quickly making a move to the consumer market, our market.

thou it took about 5 years XD

ps. just wondering...in the western market, is there now those Voice command typing thing? like u say stuff it auto types anything out for u etc. i saw those 5/6 years ago too...

I guess I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Course you weren't. I'm sure everyone here was thinking that. I'd be surprised if the pr0n industry doesn't picked up on this.

Gives new meaning to, "Grab your mouse."

Oh boy,i don't want to see your table thingies.


*click*... *Click click*
.................



*CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLOCKS*

Aaahhhhhh....

PS:The thing looks =o.Especialy the drinks thing.Just hope it doesn't pour on it O_o.

Technology is advancing. I predict in about 10-20 years our paper will have touch screen where you can search for words and do other stuff.

I definitely want to try an RTS whit this touch-scrren.

Wow, looks a lot better than I suspected after reading it in the paper today. Looks fun.
