The Future of Gaming is Touchable

The Power of Touch :: Like many people, I am waiting for a fully functional Multi-Touch computer. Over the past year Ive been just a little obsessed with the topic. It Started when I was sitting in my BioChem class and realized how the current keyboard and mouse interface limited my ability to effectively use my MacBook Pro in class. After a month or so of dreaming about how a Multi-Touch computer would work I realized how complex it would be. To make Multi-Touch computer really work you have to completely abandon the current keyboard and mouse paradigm. You also have to deal with the complexities of interacting with a computer where every square mm is a source of input. So, over the year I developed a workable interface concept and made a few videos and concept art to show it off.

Jon Doe, the anonymous grad student from Georgia and an haute azifug concept creator for a Multi-Touch computer, has something to show you. What is that, exactly? Well, how about video gaming on your computer sans mouse and keyboard? With the Power of Touch, it is possible. And whaddya know? They are showing off the concept for video gaming featuring one of my most fave games. And with rumors harboring from an Apple Tablet to that of an appearance from the Mac-Man (Steve Jobs) himself at the upcoming Sept. 9th event, I couldn’t be more elated! In the meantime, check out the Touch video after the break.
