After seeing many research projects about touchscreen interfaces (Sony CSL, HyperPalette, SmartSkin, DataTiles, HoloWall, Pick-and-Drop, and the demo’s by Jeff Han, the technology is finally coming available to the broad audience … the Apple iPhone.

Bring on the source code!

The four FRONT members have developed a method to materialise free hand sketches. They make it possible by using a unique method where two advanced techniques are combined.

Nintendo is starting it’s marketing engines for it’s new video game console called Wii. On Wii.com you can find some short clips of people playing golf, bowling, tennis and baseball with the new game controller. I will definitely try it out when I get the chance to.
