- Twoje, on 06/24/2009, -4/+21They'll need to invent cheap, scuff-proof, fingerprint-proof multi-touch screens before this stuff comes to the ordinary person.
- ryleyleckie, on 06/24/2009, -1/+11dugg for project deathstar
- plzhateme, on 06/24/2009, -2/+9If I could only digg you down more.
- eldridgea, on 06/24/2009, -2/+9They're working on Project Deathstar?
2:55 in the video. - jpate86, on 06/24/2009, -0/+7No one is saying that wall computers are going to replace desktops. I don't know how you got that impression. This type of interface would be good for kiosk type settings. This technology could be shrunk to laptops and desktop monitors. That would be useful.
- LiquidIse, on 06/24/2009, -1/+7Congratulations Mr. Cruise. Anyone else?
- Klaky, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5Is digging him up saying that I agree with his statement and I am too gay? Or if I bury him is that a hate crime against gays? Am I sitting on the fence if I do neither? Probably should just quit Digg before I get too confused.
- Dotcommer, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5thats stupid. You'd just end up eating it. You'd probably only get maybe one.. maybe two and a half uses out of it before your insatiable appetite convinced you to start nom'ing it.
- TDDebug, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5...are incredible!
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -1/+6These comments...
- thisthatwhat, on 06/24/2009, -0/+4Regarding the table you refer too. If you didn't know you can already wall mount the Microsoft Surface.
- stuffradio, on 06/24/2009, -0/+4iPhone isn't the first to have touch screen you know!
- Dotcommer, on 06/24/2009, -1/+5whoopdie *****' doo.
- WatIsNotTaknYet, on 06/24/2009, -0/+4you could...what? Don't leave me hangin' bro.
- Soniti, on 06/24/2009, -0/+4I'm so sick of this stuff being branded like you'll have it in your home in the next 5 years. Tangible interfaces are just starting to be realized-- take note that these companies that are making these devices are not marketing them as an item for everyday use, they're all marketed as a social / business / enterprise interface.
Don't worry guys, the future is not now. It's still firmly planted in the future. - Almightymole, on 06/24/2009, -0/+3Tom Cruise forgot to enable his adblock plus plugin.
- stuffradio, on 06/24/2009, -0/+3Would also be good for watching videos, collaborating for projects, taking photos and showing them on the wall after the shot was taken, looking at photos, etc.
- Nereus90, on 06/24/2009, -0/+3Yes.
- Verytastycheese, on 06/24/2009, -4/+6Anyone else notice how laggy it looked?
- Spyder2k, on 06/24/2009, -0/+2I've always had a multi-touch wall, it just looks at me like a brick when I touch it
- chrisduser, on 06/24/2009, -0/+2That's great. Keep being you.
- niCK1010, on 06/24/2009, -1/+31:52 pause it. Someone get John Barton a bong-load.
- gbhall, on 06/24/2009, -0/+2suck
- adasha, on 06/24/2009, -0/+2Not that this isn't cool, but Jeff Han was way ahead of this two years ago:

The only addition as far as I can tell is the use of RFID to identify users - Moralogic, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1Still people will buy it, so sell it, box it, and ship it.
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1Imagine all the bum wipes on that screen after 12 hours...
You might as well lick hand rails in the subway... - swicken, on 06/24/2009, -2/+3I'm relatively certain you couldn't use an iphone in the center of a festival to guide people to destinations and provide information to multiple concurrent users.
Even if you mounted it on the wall.
Please don't compare things that aren't really related. Except for the fact that the iphone has a touch screen. That's it really.
The g1 is cooler anyway. - inactive, on 06/24/2009, -1/+2Proprietary software?
Ouch... - bigbigspoon, on 10/01/2009, -0/+1I know, your mom was. OHHHHHHHHhhhh...
- ducttape36, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1RFID sucks. super insecure.
- FriedGeek, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1I love that the 'Flash Guy' is the edgy looking one with the laser sideburns and arty T shirt. (For the record, I'm a flash guy too. We can always spot our own. We started a global plan to all be edgy looking at Flash Forward 2)
- therealspike, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1boring.
- ducttape36, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1why? so you could poke a hole through it?
- ahwang, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1success!!
-troll - mrlobo, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1Is it just me or would the kind of future that Tom Cruise features in SUCK! ? Just look at the guy. He's walking there surrounded by... ads?!? Isn't that the exact opposite of what one wants? Imagine a future where you walk on the street and huge screens are attracting your sight, disturbing your thoughts, with stuph you can't help but like? Or worse, imagine a future where without RFID you are subjugated to huge screens attracting your sight with stuff you don't give a flying f' about?
Don't get me wrong I am a big lover of technology, but when it gets into the hands of people who only see another way to make a buck, and at such an early stage, even to feature such douche bags in a video with IT architects, please, just shoot me now. - larsvilhelmsen, on 06/24/2009, -2/+2I dearly hope that the future holds more than this gizmo.
- esb82, on 06/24/2009, -0/+0So, it's a huge and expensive piece of hardware that will get covered with fingerprints, germs, graffiti, etc., with limited functionality, and a display that's the same for everyone? Ugh.
I prefer my digital future to be about wearable computers and augmented reality. The applications (like mashups and FF extensions) are as diverse as programmers' imaginations, functions can be personalized to the wearer's immediate wants or needs (including biofeedback input), the display can be environment-sensitive, and the experience can be private or shared across a network.
Bring social media to the real world, not some dedicated wall-display. Decorate your apt, office, and city with a virtual layer of images, objects, and post-it notes. Put directions directly onto the road. Tag acquaintances and locations with info you want to remember about them or share with others. Associate songs, colors, images, videos, with certain public or private spaces, so they'll start playing whenever you enter them. Take pictures and record video in literally the blink of an eye, then attach them to their real-world setting, never wondering again "if these walls could talk". Find where you left your keys and where you parked your car. Make a DOOM mod for reality.
Or, uh, have fun with your multi-touch wall. - michback, on 06/25/2009, -0/+0When is this coming out as wallpaper?
- swicken, on 06/24/2009, -1/+1You still couldn't use it in the application presented by the video, as an information hub for an event.
You can use it to debug and test a larger application, but once you launch the larger application it won't have anything to do with the iphone anymore. - mrBitch, on 06/24/2009, -1/+1Microsoft Surface? The homebrew "touch screen" and "touch screen sitting on a bathtub" projects have been doing that for years :
http://www.envis-precisely.com/blog/?tag=multitouc ...
Why is Microsoft charging $10,000 per bath-tub touch screen? - jasonh1234, on 06/24/2009, -3/+2pair that up with Sony's 9.9mm thick screen.
- mrBitch, on 06/24/2009, -2/+1Using an iPhone (or iPod Touch) to test & debug touch wall / touch surface screen software :
http://www.envis-precisely.com/blog/?tag=multitouc ...
Zing! - inactive, on 06/24/2009, -2/+1No, the future is not now.
- plinstrot, on 06/24/2009, -2/+1Why has Elijah Wood changed his name to Daniel Williams and grown diagonal sideburns?
- pagit, on 06/24/2009, -3/+1watch some French Luddite artist take a sledge hammer to it during the film festival in the name of art
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R706isyDrqI - meson2k, on 06/24/2009, -4/+2I want one for my living room.
- hawks2, on 06/24/2009, -3/+0I am wondering if it is very hot ,, i mean screen hot ,,,
- psybermonkey, on 06/24/2009, -4/+1...but I don't want to live in a digitally smothered advertisement world like in Minority Report. I'll take a few of those screens in large public areas though.
