If you have seen the film Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg, based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, you may remember seeing characters using touch screen technology and 3D image tools with not a keyboard or mouse in sight. Was this science fiction or is it science fact?
The future? -- touch screen with 3D image interface
CityWall is a large multi-touch display installed in a central location in Helsinki which acts as a collaborative interface for the everchanging media landscape of the city. The new interface launched in October 2008 also allows working with 3D objects, which enables multiple content and multiple timelines. This may be how we will shortly be using technology.
Microsoft will launch touch screen for Windows 7 in 2009.
How will new interfaces affect the ways we store, share, and source information?
