I found this article today, it’s from a couple month’s ago but it’s the first I’ve heard of this new gadget. It’s called LucidTouch and it builds on Apple’s idea of multi-touch screens. Not surprising though that it’s being researched by Patrick Baudisch… a scientist working for Microsoft.

LucidTouch uses the idea of a transparent screen which utilizes four fingers on each hand for the back side part of the touch screen and the thumbs on the front. Personally I think I would find this slightly awkward. The dual touch screen that Apple has now is perfectly enough for me, I’m not sure what I would need ten fingers for on a touch screen and I honestly don’t think I CAN use all ten at once for one objective, or why I would want to. I guess you could use it as a keyboard from the back side, but it would definitely take some getting used to.

But onward with technology! This is still exciting! Please comment on what your thoughts are for this new gadget.

Peace.
