SubscribeOk so I’m not the first to link this but it’s just about the coolest new interface technique I’ve seen. Multi Touch Interaction through Frustrated Total Internal Reflection.
If I understand the technology behind this it sounds like it won’t be very expensive to build controllers that use this so it may well be affordable for the mass market and VJ’s in a few years time.
Imagine driving a seven screen wrap around display by flicking windows and elements around on the ends of your finger tips for live visuals with sliders and other controllers appearing and dissapearing as you change modes.
The same researcher has worked on a bunch of other very interesting projects, check out “Media Mirror”
