I was watching the Gadget Show this morning and they featured touch screen foil.

Hi Abraxas,
this is interesting, at least I know what to wish for next Xmas :D
Only thing I do not like is 50-100ms response times ( according to the tech specs ).
For business applications it is enough, that is sure, but imagine game running on whole wall screen ;)...
How did you find it ?
Thanks,
Petr
Petr, I think it is just a touch screen input device that can be used with various display technologies.
Very cool stuff for sure.

Interesting. But for us we better stay with wacom.

Well,
I would like to have at work. We have a lot of monitoring applications running in many virtual pc. I would like to interact with all of them in this way. Human/Machine interaction is making a lot of improvements.
Thanks Abraxas.

Kent,
even if it serves "just" for input - the response is probably not good for some fast controlled games.
Strategy games would be possible I think ( in case of 50ms ).
Bye,
Petr

Petr I think your over estimating your reaction times, 0.05 to 0.1 of a second
try this http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html
or a better one.

Abraxas,
I am so slow :D I did not knew it.
My reaction time is around 0.2ms !
Maybe I got it wrong, but I thought when you for example drag something on the screen, input is sampled every 100ms or so, which can bring bit of unprecision ... but more I think about it, less problem it seems to me :)
Thanks,
Petr
Thanks, I feel better... I thought I was getting old and slow, but not too bad...
Best was 194 and average was 224.
