A no touch touch screen. Naaa boohbah, just add more ram.

sounds like you speak from experience layback

baaaah

i should think those watching porn would crash the computer with the hand gestures they may make.

Since you mention porn quite often.....

What a thread

I read on the web site that they've incorporated anti-jerk technologies into the device for such activities !

Maybe we could install those here.

Then I'd have to leave.

Don't see a use for this on desktops/laptops since they still have largely the same issues as touchscreens.

However, I would love to see this on tablets and smartphones because this would solve the problem of constantly smudging up the screen and needing to clean it.

Exactly! On both counts! LOL
On a desktop, it'd wear ya out. You'd look like you was directing an orchestra.
I think I'll pass.

Here at MVP Global Summit 2013 I've just met developers of Leap Motion technology which is rolling out soon. This will eventually replace the mouse with hand gestures in front of the screen.

Here's a preview:

This has rocked me because I've predicted for years that with a perfect OS like WIn7 all that's missing is holographic hand gestures, eventually perhaps holographic screen.

This would help Windows 8 greatly since it's not selling a lot of touchscreens.

When I first saw this I though it looked awesome and I'd have to get one to play with (I nearly did the pre-order), I received one as a gift today and I'm so glad I didn't waste my money......it's at best a very poor Kinect

Was it anything like the demo?

 

[gregrocker]

Never heard anything about it again after seeing them at Summit in Feb. promising salvation for Windows 8 on desktops.

We also were assured 8.1 would return the Start button.

Hi there.

Holographic stuff has its uses especially in Virtual reality, aircraft training simulators and possibly movie projection -- far better than 3-D but for standard laptops etc --this is a technology waiting for an application and has about as much use as a Chocolate Teapot.

Imagine trying to use that sort of stuff in a crowded office or in any crowded space. For text editing etc NOBODY has come up with anything better than a keyboard or mouse yet --and that's after nearly 40 YEARS of development!!!.

Touch screen laptops are really as dead as a dodo too.

Cheers
