The end of fat finger syndrome?

, , ,

Eddie and others with "Spoon Thumbs" might be interested to try out Microsoft and Mitsubishi's "Lucid Touch" system. It's a touch screen system that you use by touching the back of the screen. A small dot where your finger is registering on the screen enables you to use it accurately without having to use a stylus. As someone who uses multiple touch-screen devices daily, I am excited to something like this in action. I hate clicking on a GPS screen and having to battle it to make it figure out where I'm trying to click.

You can read more about it and see a video demonstration on Microsoft's site here.

Certainly cool. Especially in conjunction with regular ol touch screen.
