Multi touch user interfaces

Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 08, 2006

The multi-touch user interface keynote by Jeff Han at ETech was pretty impressive (and for a change it was not about Web 2.0), specially the light table demo and the GIS demo using NASA’s World Wind (referrer to it by Jeff as the “open source version of Google Earth”). I can
see how that will be very useful to a professional photographer or to the military (it remained me to the interface that Apple has for Aperture but much better and usable). Check out a transcript here but you will have to wait for the video to fully appreciate what this is. I wonder how far is from being a commercial product.

    I am the director for Internet and Multimedia for Telefónica R&D, based in Barcelona where I managed their R&D center. I have been a bit all over the place for the last 15 years, specially in Tokyo, my favorite town, and finally came back in mid 2006 to my home town. I like everything that has to do with the Internet, computers, software and gadgets, not just the geeky aspect but also the business side. I also love reading (business essays mainly) and TV series and movies as well as having a good dinner and night out with my friends.
