New Minority Report-like Touchscreen @ TechArray

Lincoln Russell 28 May, 2006 at 11:30am ET Article published in Tech

Technology is progressing every day, and it appears that things that were once only in movies such as The Minority Report are making their transition into everyday life, such as the amazing touchscreen that was used in the movie.

While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, such as on PDA’s and few computers,
multi-touch sensing allows users to interact with systems with multiple fingers at the same time.
