Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 6:44 pmI've seen this a few times and I'm still not sure what you'd actually use it for. But then, I've worked with touch screens before.
A few things to think about:
- you're smudging the screen every time you touch it. How do you keep your photo editing surface clean?
- it's horizontal. I wonder how it deals with coffee cups and spills?
- note that the guy is standing over it, and the talk is short. Can you imagine using that all day, every day? Or even working like that for a few hours at a time? Is it better to hold your arms out in front of your for hors, or work standing up?
- fingertips are big and opaque. Can you imagine touching up a photo in PhotoShop when your fingertip covers the precision pointing cursor?
- note that they don't show him switching apps, and he has no keyboard. I wonder how he does text entry? Or starts another application?
- that screen is *big*. What happens to people who only have 20" monitors - do the applications still work for them?
- Windows only supports a single focus point, and one mouse cursor. You can plug multiple keyboards, mice and screens in, but only the screens work in parallel. Until that changes most apps will require custom drivers for the touch screen.
- where was his mouse cursor?
