Jeff Han (worked on the interface of the iPhone) had formed his own company called Perceptive Pixel to market large versions of his Multi Touch screen to companies.

Here's a new demo from Han on a much larger display. It appears they've created more user-interface methods for touch screen -- with menus and selection methods being demoed:

After seeing, possibly playing Second Life, what do you think of a virtual 3d Internet? Pros and Cons?

I think that it is stepping even closer to all of us someday having a 'personal device' and that meaning that we have a cell phone/internet/music/video/tv/and anything else on a computer/ all in one.

One of the only questions that I would like to ask is this: 'How would this change our society?'....'How would it change the media?'...."How would it change 'us'(lets say...if it happened in the next 5 years)?)

My question is what do you all think would be the problems/obstictals?
or what would be what would be the benefits/rewards?

I'd just like to hear your answers....!

I just subscribed to a few and I have to say it is amazing. I used to hate having to try to find the greatest boarding video of the year and buying it on DVD, when now... many companies post their riders videos for free on the world wide web or on a video podcast. In finishing...I think that this technology is something for more designers to look into , because it is the future. We all should know how to edit videos, ( to some point, along w/ work with flash and web development), but also take our skills that we hve learned in print and design and put them into a new context. Lets just try to look too the future, and see what it beholds...and see where we belong in that schema.

This week play an interactive game and then discuss in your blog about the usability of the interface. Could the game's experience be improved if the interface was easier to use? How?

Interactive Design to me is the integration of motion, type and design into a new media.

What do you want to learn in the course?
I would like to gain a greater understanding of flash, because I know very little at this point. I would also like to have a greater understanding on how to build websites because I have only made a few and its something that I have a great interest in learning.

What applications / progamming languages do you know or want to learn?
I know some html, but very little and I learned it awhile ago. I've worked with dreamweaver and some flash in the past, but the flash I learned was never put on the web. So I would like to learrn how to do that, CSS and any other programming languages that I would need to know for the future.
