This proof of concept from MIT looks to be the next step in interacting with your monitor. Very much like Minority Report, the screen responds to touch and distance of your hands, but without any gloves needed. The video below explains exactly how it works and then demonstrates each motion in practice. The only problem we see from here is the form factor will need some work, but we’re only at the beginning.
While I would love to say I made this video, you can see the upcoming Xperia X10 Android phone and how it works. The design is beautiful and the interface is one of the best i’ve seen this side of iPhone. Check it out and lets see what you think.
Android still needs some work to be as fluid and beautiful as the iPhone interface. The steps sony has taken with their latest iteration seems to bring Android to a whole new level. Check out the interface video above.
Apparently I missed this one and then I was browsing some stories on TUAW that caught my eye. For all of those who regularly watch TV online in one way or another, Hulu is at the top. Hulu has just recently released an application for you desktop that gives you a nice clean interface for that sit-back-and-relax viewing. If you haven’t already be sure to go check this out. If you don’t like it then throw it in the trash, it’s free.
The Zune HD is an obviously Microsofts attempt to make a true competitor to the iPod Touch. The real question is how well does it work and can it compete? From the video the touchscreen seems to have very similar properties to the iPod Touch and the interface is smooth and fast. The addition of the HD radio tuner may not matter to some, but it doesn’t hurt to add features. The Zune HD also can browse the web as you would expect and comes with an industry first, OLED screen which adds vibrant color with energy efficient technology. Check out the video and you might be surprised how well the Zune HD works.
