The age of touch computing has begun… and not only for humans!

BumpTop 3D Multi-Touch Desktop

These gestures come with the latest version Bumpop. Have in mind that those gestures require Windows 7 and a tablet with multi-touch capabilities.

Your mouse and keyboard are still not ready for retirement as all those text-entry applications and others requiring precisely controlled movements still need corresponding technologies (I’m looking at you, speech-to-text).

Hm… I should have BumpTop license on my other computer. Now I need to find a victim with a multi-touch tablet who would subject it to Windows 7 installation…

Now get a load of this - Interactive Mirror!

“Mirror, mirror on the wall…”

A guy called Alpay Kasal of LIT Studios has created the Interactive Mirror, using an LCD projector, and you guessed it – a mirror.

The mirror gives a user the ability to draw, interact with animations, play games, view photos, or even show how a custom t-shirt would look if you were wearing it. The device operates via touch technology. It lacks the multi-touch feature if you wondered. What an amazing array of things can happen using such screens. One thing is sure I wouldn’t plan Unreal Tournament on this beauty. ;-)
