I came across this little talk and I just sat there with my chin hanging on my chest in amazement. Using this opens soooo many new possibilities in human <-> machine interaction...and experimental art/music/movie/design lover that I am, I immediately thought about all the possibilities it opens up in those fields.

That's very neat, but I doubt something like that will be available for the consumer any time soon. (For those who can't see the video, it's basically an advanced version of the touch screen, and can translate multiple taps at once.)

Very impressive! However, I'm not sure if this kind of thing will go to the consumer market right away. I would think something like this would be used by engineers and other designers and then eventually may make it's way to stores where any person can buy it (at a reasonable cost).

It's still very cool though!

I agree with drgnfyre, it probably wont be out for consumer use for quite a while. Even though he mentions that it is low cost, market demand and innovation will lead to it having an extortionate cost when it does first debut. On another thought, this would be amazing to use for photo or video editing. It allows a complexity that just cant be match using traditional 2d controls. I'd love to have one, but doubt I could afford it :(

The video sucks big time...it keeps loosing the connection. Of the time I spent watching it, half was spent waiting for the buffering.
Oh crap. That video didn't show up when I went to the page. I just clicked download video podcast and watched it in quicktime :D

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
