First, for this first post of 2010, I wanted to wish my "too many readers," all my wishes of happiness, success, but especially health (and health in this period, I tell you that this is what is most important, believe me!).
The ecosystem of tactile interfaces is undergoing a revolution. We all remember the cash registers of restaurants (I remember working with my colleagues on a project Pizza Pai in 2002) with their colorful touch pads, and the first GSM touch from HP (some ten years ago) . So the idea is not new, and for those who remain convinced that Apple has invented a concept, I encourage them to return to the history textbooks of computer science.
Every day, thanks to my subscriptions Keywords Google, I get dozens of warnings about this type of subject interfaces (touch, multitouch, and so on and best), and I confess that by relaying the news of the smartphone, there's not much new on the horizon, made by the project Natal area and a few other examples I relay here .....
And there, oh surprise this January 6, a small piece of film from a Japanese research laboratory (them again !!!!), University Tokyo, which shows us a new type of MMI based on the recognition of movements via a mini-board camera. What is interesting here is the side miniaturization and adaptation of this technology to a mobile phone!
A technical prowess here is the inclusion of 3D movement (whereas the iPhone and its competitors do not take into account the horizontal and vertical movements! !), which allows for example to create 3D designs! One might also note that the ability to remotely capture the gestures will help keep the glass from his phone cleaner longer (just kidding of course )!!!. All this, however, is to take a step back, because on the video, we see a power cable connected to the mobile, which suggests that this is a consumer of energy. We all also have experiences of unsolicited calls with our touch screens that have not gone to sleep. So, imagine the scene without having to touch the screen!
So I say to monitor technology and above all a true interest for the future of HCI!
