  1. jamesp, The Lemur demo almost put me to sleep! Didn't see him show off the multi-touch feature. spokenward, That's the link I thought I had in the first post. (now fixed) That's what I'm talkin' about. I had a Mix magazine where a studio was featured on the front cover that had a couple of giant touch-screens (the size of your typical studio mixing console) they were using to control ProTools. It was huge, and I think at that time they could only "touch" or move one control at a time. Even that was a BIG improvement over looking at your standard computer monitor, pointing with a mouse. At least you could use your finger to "point & click". Sly
  2. I had an O2R (Yamaha). It had an LCD that would change to EQ when you thouched the knob. I would gladly take a flat panel that would display the graphics of a mixer or DAW any size. Call up a compressor and turn two knobs with two fingers on each hand, that would be killer! Just like a rack mount unit. I think it would be awesome, even with software that exists today. Sly
  3. From a post on another forum. Patent filing: Apple Computer filings published on Thursday show the iPod maker to be working on multipoint touch screens and an advanced media file format that embeds sale and marketing information. Multipoint touchscreen A filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office made on May 6, 2004 and published for the first time on Thursday describes a "multipoint touchscreen" that relates to "a touch screen capable of sensing multiple points at the same time." According to the filing, the touch screen is comprised of a pixilated array of transparent capacitance sensing nodes and would appear as a transparent panel that is positioned in front of the display. "Unlike conventional touch screens, however, the touch screen shown herein is configured to recognize multiple touch events that occur at different locations on the touch sensitive surface of the touch screen at the same time," the filing reads. "That is, the touch screen allows for multiple contact points to be tracked simultaneously, i.e., if four objects are touching the touch screen, then the touch screen tracks all four objects." "The multiple objects may for example correspond to fingers and palms," the filing continues. "Because the touch screen is capable of tracking multiple objects, a user may perform several touch initiated tasks at the same time. For example, the user may select an onscreen button with one finger, while moving a cursor with another finger. In addition, a user may move a scroll bar with one finger while selecting an item from a menu with another finger. Furthermore, a first object may be dragged with one finger while a second object may be dragged with another finger. Moreover, gesturing may be performed with more than one finger."
