Really cool technology

I am starting to get involved with some research projects that are happening inside our graphics research group here at Brown. I am even working on this for my final project in my vision class. But, I thought I'd show you some of the amazing things that have already been completed in this area of research. The research topic is multi-touch displays. This allows direct interaction with a computer with more than just one mouse pointer as you can easily see in the videos that I've included below. These first videos are from Jeff Han, who is a researcher at NYU. Here is a demo he performed when he first unveiled his research to the public.



And another that shows more possibilities.



Similarly, another researcher, Johnny Lee at Carnegie Mellon has done some cool things that are related to multi-touch displays. But, here is another one of his videos that is a little bit different topic, but still very interesting.



Hope you guys like these videos. Another related project is the "Microsoft Surface" and there is a really cool video about it here:



That's it for now.
