GREAT FIND.

I'm absolutely giddy, I love the scaling features this thing has! It's like Flash for my FINGERS! WANT!

[Jason Snair]

when he showed the "lightbox" and the scaled the pictures with his fingers...I was like...AAWWWWW...right along with the audience.

That's an awesome toy. And it has soooo many applications. design, print, media, animation, hell everything could use this interface.

[Noë]

I saw this one before.. Linked by CA..
So somewhere there's another thread linking to this vid. but where? :P (yes, here's a lazy bum)

but indeed, this is crazy!
like fingerpainting ^^ :P

love

Someone sticky this thread so we don't need a new one every month ;p.
It is sexy though.

Didnt Microsoft present a similar system except you didnt need to touch the screen at all, but rather it had sensors that could detect your movements in space XYZ? OR was this it? I only read an article, didnt see it myself

[Darktwin]

wow, this is why its really important for artist to learn the foundations, because the tools are not only always changing, they're becoming more intuitive in the traditional sense. great find.

[Lynn Yang]

This is interesting. I saw in the Imagefx issue, they featured a tablet. You can use your own paint brushes and the tablet will pick up the texture and elumlate it photoshop. Pretty much you can "paint" on the tablet.

It's interesting where technology goes these days.

[JustinBeckett]

thats insane.

[drd]

God, I can't even begin to contemplate how researchers would go about coding and designing something like this...it boggles the mind.

[Hookswords]

wow. That looks like a lot of fun

[Coen]

Nice stuff, I feel like sculpting on that thing :D

[John]

Hmm, i've seen several similar applications by now. This one has pressure sensitivity which is nice. Too bad a lot of these look like they are ages away from being affordable by the average poor computer geek costumer - me.
But damnit i want a zooming desktop like that now. I'll just use my mouse wheel instead of the two handed gesture. That and one of those big panorama monitors i saw on tv a couple of years ago.

damn that is sommeting i will have to get in the future, but i guess it will be to expensive in the beginning

[maxetormer]

WOW they should have hired Massive Black to a demo, drawing with that
thing, man!!! I mean, that just imagine Marko or Coro drawing with that piece
of hardware, shit!!! forget about cintiqs I want this touch screen!!! :D

[Blue]

yea its been posted at least 1000 times. But regardless, it is a sweet idea, i really hope it goes mainstream.

[LaPalida]

Hah I saw that weeks ago. It's pretty cool. That site is really cool too. You guys should all watch the Shermer video. I recommend :) http://www.ted.com/tedtalks/tedtalksplayer.cfm?key=m_shermer See how good you are at attention :) There is an awesome little test half way though the video.

[asoir]

I'll be giddy when they DO something with it...

[HunterKiller_]

Wow wow wow. Can i say wow? I can't wait to own one these things.
Finger painting ftw.

[bRyaN]

Read Otherland by Tad Williams....
the stuff happening nowadays...is absolutely amazing...

[joelhinxman]

:jawdrop: :drool: :xpld: :dead:

[Dan.v.D.]

bah operating that thing looks like a full fledged work out compared to just using a mouse =P

[bluedoorhouse]

Can't wait until that becomes a standard interface, it's like something out of a sci-fi story/show.
