new way to browse maps: LucidTouch
Mar 5, 2008 gps navigation, iphone, misc news
Microsoft unveiled their new technology called LucidTouch which lets you control a handheld with your fingers that are behind the screen. It does this by using “pseudo-transparency” which lets you see your fingers as a shadow.
This new technology could revolutionize the way we look and browse around maps and specially could be useful when dealing with small screens and big fingers.
The current prototype uses a webcam to capture the location of your fingers but you can be sure Microsoft will find a better way to do this when designing an actual product.
