Give Your Computer the Finger: Touch-Screen Tech Comes of Age

Computerworld writes:

"The WIMP human-computer interface may have an uninspiring name, but Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing devices have dominated computing for some 15 years. The keyboard, mouse and display screen have served users extraordinarily well.

But now the hegemony of WIMP may be coming to an end, say developers of technologies based on human touch and gesture. For evidence, look no further than Apple's one-year-old iPhone. From a human-interface point of view, the combined display and input capabilities of the iPhone's screen, which can be manipulated by multiple fingers in a variety of intuitive touches and gestures, is nothing short of revolutionary, researchers say."

that we are about I'd say 10 years away from a Minority Report Type screen that is both as fluid in its motion and navigation as in the movie..

It took him around 8 days to complete, but it's still pretty amazing and close to the Minority Report interaction.

All very nice, but likely to be all very unaffordable.

Panthers6357d ago

Change the name. Its going to be hard to buy something called WIMP. Might as well call it NERD.

GameOn6357d ago

What do you mean change the name? Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointer is probably what your using now. It's just called Windows for short (windows XP, Windows Vista).
This is not something only nerds know, I learnt that at school.

I dont think this touch screen stuff is WIMP any way since there's no pointer.

Yoma6357d ago

No way, I won't have the energi to push my finger on a screen. To lazy for doing that.

Looking for porn with a touch interface might be a tricky scenario.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

CrimsonWing693h ago

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
