Friday, November 26, 2004 Interfaces The following are some of the innovations that have generated interest in recent times: > "...IBM and Microsoft are developing new interfaces and wireless connectivity protocols to help bring Tablet PCs into their own. IBM's SHARK (Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding) uses regularly-used letter and word combinations and an educational interface to teach users to enter text and words more quickly, displaying popular combinations in a hexagonal on-screen interface and using a graffiti-like shorthand called sokgraphs." [says Engadget] > While that's that, here comes another idea from Hitachi: Shadow Interface. "The prototype uses technology developed by the company's Human Interaction Laboratory that reacts to shadows cast upon the table. The display itself is a Hitachi high-def LCD projector, the CP-X328J, which projects the equivalent of a 42-inch screen onto the table." > Virtual keyboards like the one from Israel-based VKB posted by pradeep | Permalink | (0) 0 Comments: |
