The use of Interactive Touch Screen Table technology has, for some years, been going from strength to strength and is an ever developing and expanding entity which, it would seem, has much to offer business, education and general everyday consumers.
This form of technology is just one of many innovations that have been and are constantly being developed out of necessity or the seemingly endless imagination of the human race. Some, if not all of the devices and gadgets that we take for granted today would have seemed literally inconceivable only 50 years ago and even with our modern, forward thinking attitudes to all things tech it is not hard to believe that, in 50 years’ time, there will have been technological advances that we could not envisage today.
So, we now have – amongst many other things – Interactive Touch Screen Tables but what is next in the world of interactive computing and device control?
Researchers from across the globe have recently been showcasing ideas that could quite possibly have the same impact as some of the most inspirational and effective technological revolutions of the last 20 years.
One such interactive interface is the Digits wrist device that is worn around the wrist and consists of a motion sensor, an infrared light source and a camera similar to the Xbox Kinect motion sensor device developed by Microsoft. As with the Xbox sensor the Digits interface can follow arm and finger movements with enough accuracy to allow the movements to be replicated on the screen of any compatible device to control complex computer games or any form of compatible software. This is just one of many ideas that researchers believe could greatly enhance the functionality of many devices including Interactive Tables, mobile phones, tablets and personal computers.
Another possible innovation in the mobile device industry could be the development of a device known as “Slick Feel.” This particular innovation makes it possible to add the feel of buttons and sliders to a perfectly flat piece of glass by installing vibrating piezoelectric actuators one side of the glass which generate friction at the point of contact with a finger. This “Slick Feel” technology has the potential to actually recreate the sense of resistance that we feel when pressing buttons or moving a physical slider and is expected to aid users in finding the correct control on compact devices like smartphones, or enable the use of an Interactive Touch Screen without looking at it, for example while driving.
Whichever interactive device controller makes it into the mainstream market one thing is very clear, the way that we control and interact with all of our devices now is not the same as it used to be and interactive technology is changing the way we communicate.
