amazing video of innovative input possibilities of nyu’s multi-touch displays we heard about in august. this is multi-touch sensing through frustrated total internal reflection..
of light, not pressure like some multi-touch controls such as the intuitive music controller, lemur from jazzmutant. lemur’s most awesome feature is the ability to customize physical parameters (friction, evaporation, and attraction) of knobs and sliders, for example, so if you throw up the level of a channel, it will bounce down from the top
sony has been working on smartskin, which involves capacitive sensing and projection. video here. with some silly video games.
theres also tactapad, a mouseish input that overlays your hands on the screen with a camera and responds tactically to pressure with its flexible input area.. greyed out buttons feel stiff, incremental sliders feel notched, pushing harder scrolls faster, etc. demo videos aqui
if you simply cannot wait for the future, mercurial innovations group’s stc-1000 is another input device (single) geared for electronic musical expression that is already available for purchase for $225USD. their npt-01 prototype adds pressure as an input parameter
inspired by korg’s kaoss pad, a glorified trackpad from 1999

the new york times reported on the arctic monkey’s new album:
The British music magazine NME ranked it at No. 5 on a recent list of the greatest British albums ever. It sold over 360,000 copies in the last week, making it the fastest-selling debut in British history.
thats a very bold statement especially just one week after its release. but these teenagers grow on me each time i listen. the first single:
