<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Para aquellos fanáticos del hágalo-usted-mismo (o para otros, imagine-que-lo-hace-usted-mismo), el sitio http://www.instructibles.com está de pelos. Una gran comunidad de personas que aportan con ideas para construir cosas de todo tipo.</p>
<p>Buceando un rato, me encontré con <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/SIB3Z15F3ER7VQS/" target="_blank">este tutorial</a> para hacer un display multitouch interactivo. En el fondo, como lograr ese "feeling" del iPhone/Surface, con partes que se puden conseguir de forma <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">relativamente</span> fácil.</p>
<p>En esencia, es una pantalla de acrílico iluminada por LEDs infrarrojos, que son detectados por una cámara enchufada a un PC. El PC procesa la información, y escupe cosas por un retroproyector que ilumina la mesa, cerrando el círculo. Con esto, se pueden lograr cosas como esta:</p>
<p>[googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2694120787531469486&#38;q=2694120787531469486&#38;ei=6RKBSLJlkeTgAqv9uaUL]</p>
<p>Otro video de lo que se puede lograr (aunque no tan deslumbrante) lo pueden ver acá: <a href="http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirsense/index.html" target="_blank">http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirsense/index.html</a></p>
<p>Ahora, personas bastante creativas en el Music Technology Group de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra en Barcelona, Spain, desarrollaron un instrumento musical que tiene de cabeza a varios, el famosillo <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReacTable" target="_blank">Reactable</a>, que Björk ya sacó de paseo en su última gira.</p>
<p>¿Dónde se juntan esta dos cosas? El software que está detrás del funcionamiento del Reactable (no de la generación del sonido, sino del procesamiento de imágenes) es libre, y está a <a href="http://reactable.iua.upf.edu/?software" target="_blank">disposición del público en general.</a> O sea, es cosa de armase una de estas pantallas y echar a volar la imaginación.</p>
<p>Eso. Una idea.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Imaginem que se podia "colar" um botão ou outro tipo de controlo (típicos dos equipamentos electrónicos) num monitor de modo a controlar um aplicação no PC. Foi esta a ideia do Lyndsay Williams ao criar o <a href="http://girtonlabs.googlepages.com/sensesurface" target="_blank">SenseSurface</a>, que com recurso a uma matriz táctil XY e alguns sensores de movimento criou um interface físico que permite controlar virtualmente qualquer tipo de aplicação (por ex. Deejaying) estando somente limitado pela dimensão do monitor.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nun gibt es die Broschüre 04 - "Die erste Applikation"</p>
<p>Die Broschüre gibt zum ersten mal Einblicke in eine Applikation. Die Applikation trägt den Namen UberPong. UberPong ist ein Spiel welches dem Atari Spiel Pong ähnlich ist, allerdings die Vorzüge der Eingabefläche des Touchtisches auffasst.</p>
<p>Die drei Kommunikationsdesign Studenten entschieden sich für ein Spiel, da Sie das Projekt mit einer fertigen Applikation für Touchtische abschließen wollen.</p>
<p>Mehr dazu in der neuen Broschüre 04 die Sie hier downloaden können.</p>

A partir d'une simple caméra reliée à un ordinateur, il est possible de détecter la présence et le déplacement d'une ou plusieurs mains devant l'objectif. Après un court passage en revue des solutions existantes pour capturer un geste devant une webcam, nous élaborerons différents petits dispositifs tactiles basés sur la reconnaissance de l'image. Des petits programmes ludiques seront ensuite écrits pour explorer les possibilités d'interaction à plusieurs.</p>

<description><![CDATA[This is short summary and review for the newly release HP Touch Smart IQ500 has launched in Singapor]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is short summary and review for the newly release <a href="http://h20426.www2.hp.com/campaign/hpberlin/ap/en/touchsmart.html">HP Touch Smart IQ500</a> has <a href="http://hptouchsmart.wordpress.com/">launched in Singapore</a>. I was invited by <a href="http://thepr2.0universe.com/">Melvin Yuan</a> to take a look at their releasing product in this coming July in Asia last Tuesday. <img style="float:left;padding:5px 50px 5px 5px;" src="http://dusenyao.wordpress.com/files/2609200627-5dd617efd9.jpg" alt="2609200627_5dd617efd9.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>After talking with the HP product manager Daniel for TouchSmart IQ500 in Singapore, and tried first hand on the set. I've discovered that there are 10 things you might not be aware of HP TouchSmart through merely looking at the Ads or some online review, here they are:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>No Apple-like multi-touch yet</strong>, which means no pinch to zoom nor three fingers to go back, but the multi-touch screen is designed to be object-sensitive rather than pressure-sensitive, so <strong>you can actually use your fountain pen to write on the screen</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>The native screen resolution is </strong><strong>1680 * 1050</strong>, which means you can view HD1080p with large amount of pleasure due to its clarity because of many pixels are present, but you can't take the advantage of the full resolution of 1080p because it still lacks quite a number of pixels according to that.</li>
<li>The <strong>keyboard and mouse</strong> came with the computer are both wireless. To me they <strong>feel just alright</strong> comparing with those magnificent ones on my MacBook Pro and my Logitech DeNovo Edge. And the wireless duo doesn't come with a dock + charging station like that of DeNovo Edge - Yes, you need to replace the battery.</li>
<li>Don't eat KFC and play with the screen at the same time! the screen is not oil-proof, though it could resist a certain amount of normal grease on your fingertips.</li>
<li>The PC comes with<strong> a remote control, which is designed for Windows Media Center</strong> rather than the HP TouchSmart Center, which is the piece of software HP developed for this TouchSmart PC.</li>
<li><strong>TouchSmart Center can't do TV</strong>, nor could it easily help you to transfer photos from your memory card to computer just yet. And yeah, you can't delete the photos or videos through the interface either, which might be a good thing for people who like to press the X button all the time.</li>
<li>The plainly washed white and bright ambient light makes me want to buy a nice lava lamp and put beside the PC to create some nice ambience  instead <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/sergioma/2439411957/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3027/2439411957_bee9c43d6b_m.jpg" alt="Lava Lamp" width="160" height="240" /></a></li>
<li>They are many pieces of pre-installed software on the PC. Many are quite useful, unlike <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/sony-hates-you-offers-50-fresh-start-option-to-build-your-la/">that of Sony</a>. But for that many games installed, <strong>you have only 4 free credits to play</strong>, so pay more to play them all.</li>
<li>HP software does not use the native resolution, which causes screen to flick  and computer to hang for a period when switching out of the TouchSmart center program using Alt+Tab</li>
<li>Vista still hangs now and then, and many applications take a while to start.</li>
</ol>
<p>And here are the ten things you might know about:</p>
<ol>
<li>HP produces <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGPVTAC58io">some of </a>the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCsIy3j1NKU&#38;">best Ads</a> in the market today, including a nicely composed tune<br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/PGPVTAC58io'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/PGPVTAC58io&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></li>
<li>The product looks really nice from afar, a giant photo frame sitting there.</li>
<li>You can use your stylus to write on the screen and play ink ball with your thumbdrive</li>
<li>Playing Solitaire and BeJeweled with fingers are really neat with friends together, a multi-user hot-seat scenario.</li>
<li>Coverflow on the machines is nicer than that of Apple, there is more context visible when spreading like a fan instead of vertically stacked.</li>
<li>You can watch TV on your desktop without bothering to buy TV cards and install them</li>
<li>They have wooping 4G RAM pre-installed to use on the system</li>
<li>It runs a 64-bit Windows Vista!</li>
<li>Telling Mom how to use the computer has never been easier, MA, just use you hand to press that red button!</li>
<li>It has built-in audio and video recording capability, you can do audio notes and voice memo easily.</li>
</ol>
<p>Check it out for yourself when this coming July, you just find the perfect PC to sit in your living room.</p>
<p>PS: I think Apple's iMac 24 inch's look is cool comparing with this as well, but it lacks the Touch function and many more. And there are <a href="http://vantan.org/archives/2008/06/hp_launches_tou.php">many</a> <a href="http://bitbot.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/hp-touchsmart-pc-bloggers-event/">reviews</a> <a href="http://mhisham.org/?p=54">out</a> <a href="http://daryltay.net/2008/06/hp-touchsmart-pc-bloggers-nite-at-brotzeit/">there</a>, if you will, take a look at them as well. But you really gota touch this HP TouchSmart IQ500 first to experience for yourself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is actually an old video of the first prototype I made at <a title="ATR" href="http://atr.jp" target="_blank">ATR</a> of a MultiTouch Google Maps interface. The purpose was simply to see whether the odd link between c++, xml, flash and ajax actually worked to control the Google Maps interface with your hands.</p>
<p>Although it was rather fun to play around with it, obviously the controls are still quite limited in this video. Luckily we can now enjoy this phenomenon much smoother on the iPod touch or the iPhone :)</p>

<p>นานๆ ทีจะได้เห็นผลงานของเยาวชนไทย ซีก็เลยไม่พลาดที่จะรีบนำมารายงานเพื่อนๆค่ะ</p>
<p>NeuScreen เป็นโครงการที่อยู่ในระหว่างพัฒนาของพี่เนย สิทธิพล พันธุ์วิไล นักพัฒนา</p>
<p>แอพพลิเคชันบนมือถือใน Nokia forums และเป็นรุ่นพี่ที่จุฬาฯด้วยค่ะ</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3119" src="http://dailygizmo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/n95_multitouch_2.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="303" /></p>
<p>สำหรับโครงงานนี้มีชื่อว่า NeuScreen ซึ่งเป็นการพัฒนาระบบมัลติทัชโดยใช้มือถือโนเกีย</p>
<p>N95 และกล้องดิจิตอล(บนมือถือ)ที่ปิดด้วยตัวกรองแสงอินฟราเรด(IR) เชื่อมต่อหน้าจอ</p>
<p>แสดงผลบนมือถือเข้ากับจอทีวี และใช้ปากกาแสงที่พัฒนาขึ้นมาเอง โดยกล้องบนมือถือที่</p>
<p>ติดตัวกรองอินฟราเรดเพื่อช่วยในการระบุตำแหน่งของปลายปากกาแสง ตำแหน่งที่อ่าน</p>
<p>ได้จะถูกนำไปใช้เป็นอินพุตของระบบมัลติทัช เช่น การใช้ปากกาแสงสองแท่ง(2 จุด) ลาก</p>
<p>บนจอ เพื่อขยาย หรือย่อภาพ 3 มิติดังที่พี่เนยได้สาธิตในวิดีโอค่ะ</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gitm.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/n5800_2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-60" src="http://gitm.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/n5800_2.jpg?w=192" alt="" width="192" height="300" /></a>When you hear the words "<strong>touchscreen</strong>" and "<strong>mobile</strong> <strong>phone</strong>" in the same sentence, you directly think it will be very expensive. Well at least if you want a feature packed one, you'll have to pay around € 500 for a decent one, or even a lot more than that (think of the iPhone for example).</p>
<p>Every manufracturer in the world, if it's a mobile phone manufracturer or a television or music-player -manufracturer, notices theirs a change in how we want to interact with all daily use objects.</p>
<p>Nowadays we have the urge to do "<strong>input</strong>" using the little tops of our fingers, and if possible we want to do it with more fingers at the same time. That's where apple made good use out of it, by making the iPhone which supports "<strong>multiple touch input</strong>".</p>
<p>Nokia noticed it too, and is working on a lot of touchscreen phones and even multi-touch screens (On the left is a computer remade of the Nokia XpressMedia Tube 5800). However they didn't understand the need of <strong>2</strong> or <strong>more fingers at the same time</strong>, so they just made simple gestures with one figure that does the same when using 2 or more fingers.</p>
<p>Anssi Vanjoki the VP of Nokia Markets, stated on the 12th of June 2008;</p>
<p>"<em>We will introduce products from the very low segment to the highest one featuring this type of functionality</em>."</p>
<p>Yet again, Nokia looks further than their concurrent. Everyone loves touch-phones, so why not make cheaper ones, so everyone can enjoy them too? I know many people will appreciate it.</p>
<p>Although it's mostly thinking about getting some cash in the <strong>caise</strong>, Nokia does think of everyone, and not only of the richer or more fortunate people.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its unclear: to do what you "can do" , or do what you you "want to do". Most of us will choose the second one for the fret of the reason.</p>
<p>Its been to days since my landing in Delhi. The GIS course has started at the IIT campus. Bhat sir was teaching well, i wanted to continue. But something confusing me still. There's a nokia user research internship going of which i was assigned a web-dev cum photographer position. </p>
<p>The multitouch project really excites me... I want to add networking capabilities to the same, and make something I have thought of :-) The Image Processing lectures by Bhat sir would have added a lot of knowledge base required to accomplish it. On the contrary, The internship would give me the extra buck required to get me the royal enfield i am looking for . <em>and the confusion comes when I find myself unable to prioritize between the two .</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Che si trattasse di un annuncio previsto lo si intuiva dai numerosi rumors che negli ultimi mesi avevano invaso la Rete e la sensazione, quasi certezza, che questa edizione della <a href="http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/" target="_blank">WWDC</a> sarebbe passata alla storia per la "reinvenzione" dell'iPhone era palpabile nell'aria dell'affollato salone del Moscone Center. Apple non ha disatteso le aspettative dei numerosissimi partecipanti alla WWDC, l'annuale conferenza dedicata agli sviluppatori, invogliati in questa occasione forse più dal nuovo agognato iPhone che dalle novità software, che hanno accolto l'arrivo di <a href="http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html" target="_blank">Jobs sul palco</a> con un applauso insolitamente lungo e fragoroso quasi a voler gridare "Steve, facci sognare!". E così è stato.<br />
<!--more--><br />
<img style="width:190px;height:212px;float:right;" src="http://images.apple.com/it/iphone/features/images/main_overview20080609.jpg" alt="" /> Ancor prima di addentrarci nella disamina delle nuove caratteristiche sottolineiamo subito un aspetto che forse più degli altri impatterà positivamente sulla diffusione del nuovo iPhone: il prezzo, adesso inverosimilmente basso, ovunque mai superiore, a detta di Jobs, ai 199 dollari per la versione da 8 GB (resta da capire come questo si declinerà nel nostro Paese). Altro aspetto importante la copertura a breve di circa 70 paesi e una data per il nostro Paese non troppo lontana: l'11 luglio , con Tim e Vodafone. Quali siano i piani tariffari non è stato comunicato ma si conosceranno molto presto i dettagli.</p>
<p>Sul fronte novità il nuovo modello, dal design accattivante con linee più arrotondate, spessore lievemente ridotto e retro in plastica nei colori bianco o nero, integra la veloce tecnologia HSDPA e l' A-GPS, evoluzione del noto sistema satellitare, per il quale non è da escludere la prossima implementazione di un software prodotto ad hoc. Alcune critiche verranno probabilmente mosse dai detrattori dell'iPhone per l'assenza della camera frontale, indispensabile per le videochiamate, ma certamente non fondamentale: iPhone ha una vocazione più smartphone-oriented e anche molti concorrenti blasonati ne sono privi, così come i due megapixel della fotocamera integrata costituiscono una pecca minore in un dispositivo che non è nato per sostituirsi a una vera fotocamera digitale.</p>
<p>Equipaggia il nuovo iPhone 3G il firmware 2.0 che, oltre a migliorare stabilità e performance, aggiunge nuove funzioni quali il pieno supporto a iWork e al pacchetto MS Office, un sistema di ricerca dei contatti, la possibilità di salvare un'immagine ricevuta via e-mail, il parental control, il supporto a più lingue con sistema di riconoscimento della grafia manuale, una nuova calcolatrice scientifica.</p>
<p>iPhone 2.0 strizza anche l'occhio al mondo dell'enterprise grazie al supporto a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync per e-mail, contatti e calendari push, servizi di rete con autenticazione WPA2 Enterprise e 802.1X e a svariati standard web, quali SSL e VPN IPSec Cisco. Probabilmente ulteriori caratteristiche attendono solo di essere verificate e solo una prova diretta ci consentirà un'analisi approfondita del nuovo sistema installabile anche sui "vecchi" iPhone EDGE dai primi di luglio.</p>
<p>La WWDC, quest'anno indubbiamente iPhone-centrica, è andata ben oltre la presentazione del nuovo modello 3G, peraltro avvenuta a fine keynote. Dopo un'iniziale disamina delle peculiarità dell'SDK, il kit di sviluppo per applicazioni per iPhone, in gran parte già illustrate all'evento dello scorso marzo, sono state mostrate demo di alcuni software tra cui giochi che poco hanno da invidiare sul piano grafico al famoso Nintendo DS e risultano arricchiti dall'originale sistema di comando che sfrutta l'accelerometro dell'iPhone: Super Monkey Ball della Sega, Enigmo e Cro-Mag Rally della Pangea Software, Band (simulatore di strumenti musicali con possibilità di registrazione), l'adventure Krull.</p>
<p>Non sono mancate applicazioni più seriose come un programma per la gestione delle offerte su eBay, il famoso portale per le aste online, due software medicali, uno dei quali utile per lo studio dell'anatomia, l'applicazione TypePad per aggiornare al volo il proprio blog con l'invio di post e foto, il software Loopt che mostra su una cartina la posizione dei propri amici e un innovativo programma sviluppato dall'Associated Press che determina il luogo in cui ci si trova e mostra le notizie locali, consentendo anche l'invio delle proprie news e la loro condivisione con amici.</p>
<p>Tutte le applicazioni verranno veicolate dall'AppStore, il negozio virtuale di software per iPhone, e potranno essere gratuite o a pagamento (come nel caso dei giochi a un prezzo di norma fissato a 9.99 dollari). Il download sarà possibile attraverso il carrier telefonico se la dimensione non superiore i 10 mega, altrimenti via Wi-Fi.</p>
<p>Un limite voluto delle applicazioni di terze parti consiste nella chiusura delle stesse se in background, al fine di non appesantire il sistema inficiandone prestazioni e stabilità e non ridurre la durata della batteria. Apple ha escogitato una brillante soluzione che consente, ad applicazione chiusa, di ricevere ugualmente una notifica dalla stessa, mediante il servizio push notification, che sarà reso disponibile agli sviluppatori da settembre: Apple manterrà una connessione continua con l'iPhone e il server di terze parti potrà avvantaggiarsene per veicolare una qualsivoglia notifica testuale o sonora. Un campo di applicazione ideale di tale tecnologia è ad esempio rappresentato dai servizi di messaggistica.</p>
<p>Altra chicca prevista della WWDC il rinnovo del servizio .Mac, ora rinominato <a href="http://www.apple.com/it/mobileme/" target="_blank">MobileMe</a>, definito da Jobs "l'Exchange per il resto di noi". Alla pari del servizio Microsoft per le imprese, adesso anche l'utente comune potrà avvantaggiarsi della comoda tecnologia push per e-mail, rubrica indirizzi e iCal. MobileMe permette inoltre una sincronizzazione immediata di contatti, e-mail, foto, calendari, tra Mac, iPhone e PC ed è compatibile anche con Outlook su Windows. Sarà disponibile a partire da luglio al prezzo di 79 euro per l'abbonamento annuale e gli abbonati attuali a .Mac verranno gratuitamente upgradati al nuovo servizio.</p>
<p>Un accenno marginale è stato riservato alla futura release di Mac OS X, nome in codice Snow Leopard, che sarà rilasciata nel 2009. Pochi i dettagli emersi: il supporto a una nuova tecnologia, Grand Central, per un'ottimizzazione nell'uso dei processori multicore e l'OpenCL (Open Computing Language), che permette a qualsiasi applicazione di sfruttare la potenza di calcolo delle GPU della scheda grafica.</p>
<p>Con l'avveniristico spot dal look iper-tecnologico alla Mission Impossible, cala il sipario sul keynote di Jobs e si comincia a sognare... lo spettacolo è appena cominciato!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bien que les travaux sur les technologies tactiles ont commencés, il y a près de 20 ans dans les centres de recherche aux Etats-Unis, le très visuel film Minority Report les a introduit de façon spectaculaire aux yeux du grand public en 2002. Récemment, les appareils dotés de la technologie Multi-Touch se multiplient et la sortie, il y a un an déjà de l'iphone a révolutionnée la façon de concevoir les nouveaux produits technologiques. Les brevets sur ce type de technologie croissent de façon exponentiels et les firmes s'empressent de sortir leurs propres produits multi-touch ; ainsi la compagnie canadienne RIM avec son futur Blackberry, HTC avec son Touch Diamond suivi de Samsung, LG et Nokia a déposé un brevet sur une technologie similaire utilisant des capteurs optiques capables de capter les mouvements de l'utilisateur dans un univers 3D et donc ne nécessitant aucun contact physique entre l'homme et l'écran. En soit un multi-touch sans le touch...</p>
<p><a href="http://fouleintelligente.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/nokiapatent2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19" src="http://fouleintelligente.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/nokiapatent2.jpg?w=290" alt="" width="290" height="116" /></a></p>
<p>Microsoft, il y a quelque temps déjà, avait présenté une table tactile interactive nommé <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/surface/videos.html#gid=demos&#38;vid=d1" target="_blank">SURFACE</a> permettant par simple contact sur sa surface de visionner des photos, vidéos ou autres mais aussi de communiquer avec les appareils électroniques et permettre le transfert de fichiers par exemple. Récemment, la présentation du Touch Wall, une image projetée sur un mur via une interface issue de Vista appelée Flex permet à l'utilisateur d'agir sur l'environnement via un guidage de trois caméras infrarouges qui scannent la surface du tableau ou mur. Même si cette technologie n'est encore quand phase expérimentale, elle prédit l'avenir de nos futur écran.</p>

<description><![CDATA[C&#8217;è un 50% di possibilità che Apple introduca un nuovo dispositivo multi-touch nel segmento ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>C'è un 50% di possibilità che Apple introduca un nuovo dispositivo multi-touch nel segmento ultra mobile computing MID durante la  Developers Conference di Lunedì.</p>
<p>Lo dice un analista di Wall Street:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">(ho riportato il lungo intervento ma solo tradotto in automatico ora ho tanto sonno :D sono le 04.00)</span></strong></p>
<p><!--more--><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;"><br />
</span></strong><br />
"Riteniamo che ci sia un 50% di probabilità che un nuovo fattore di forma saranno introdotte, la marcatura di Apple è entrata nel emergenti" MID "o dispositivo mobile internet mercato," American Technology Research analista Shaw Wu ha scritto in una relazione al Giovedi clienti. "Le nostre fonti indicano 4 pollici e 7 pollici touchscreen al di là di dispositivi prototipo fase che sono un incrocio tra un Mac e iPod touch".</p>
<p>E 'creduto l'analista si riferisce ad un annoso skunkworks progetto a Cupertino a base di elettronica maker, in primo luogo segnalati da AppleInsider settembre scorso, volto a produrre un più capace, moderna reincarnazione del suo Newton MessagePad che anche la doppia come un Internet Tablet e più.</p>
<p>Ancora, Wu siepi suo scommesse su un po 'introduzione, a della prossima settimana Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, spiegando che "i tempi esatti di produzione non è chiaro." Ha aggiunto, tuttavia, che egli ritiene che "è inevitabile che Apple farà di più dispositivi di touchscreen di mercato" che si leva ulteriormente il suo marchio multi-touch tecnologia introdotto per la prima volta sul iPhone.</p>
<p>Più certo è l'analista a Apple iPhone connessi annunci per la conferenza. Egli ha detto catena di approvvigionamento fonti indicano almeno due nuovi modelli di touch-screen portatile darà un aspetto, tra cui una versione molto anticipato che verranno pubblicati sulle cosiddette reti 3G per $ 399 a $ 499, in aggiunta a una nuova versione che 2.5G venderà per $ 50 a $ 100 meno di quella degli attuali 399 $ introduttiva prezzo.</p>
<p>"Il nostro senso è che Apple è più focalizzata sulla guida di volume rispetto a un anno fa, aumentando la possibilità di sovvenzioni, in quanto vettore probabile", ha detto l'analista clienti. "In termini di caratteristiche, noi siamo far salire su una tastiera virtuale migliorata con haptics fornendogli una sensazione tattile di più, le coordinate GPS e una migliore localizzazione dei servizi, e più sottile e leggero telaio che è più durevole e poco costosi da produrre."</p>
<p>Wu ha difeso la sua convinzione che Apple continuerà a commercializzare un 2.5G iPhone di notare che la copertura 3G è ancora relativamente piccolo e concentrato a livello mondiale rispetto al 2.5G tecnologia. In molte parti del mondo come l'Latina e Sud America dove ha il potenziale di iPhone con un elevato numero di abbonati, "avere solo una versione 3G di offrire non ha molto tecnica ed economica senso", ha detto. "I componenti in un telefono cellulare 3G sono più costosi, per non parlare di consumare più di carica della batteria e generare più calore".</p>
<p>La AmTech analista ha anche detto che, mentre i clienti WWDC è stata tradizionalmente un forum di Apple per introdurre nuovi sistemi Mac, è improbabile che sia il caso di quest'anno a causa di un conflitto in orari di distribuzione.</p>
<p>"Anche se riteniamo che rende senso logico per Apple di introdurre nuovi Mac al WWDC, le nostre fonti indicano radicalmente rinnovata portatili Mac molto probabilmente non sarà pronto per volume di produzione fino a quando il quarto set," ha spiegato. "Crediamo che potrebbero finire con un 'evento speciale' in calendario tre quarto di annunciare questi nuovi Mac".</p>
<p>Wu Apple consiglia gli investitori che azioni della società sono spesso volatili nei pressi di keynotes di chief executive Steve Jobs, come quello fissato per il Lunedi, ma comunque ha ribadito il suo rating Compra e $ 220 prezzo obiettivo.</p>
<p>"Con i nuovi prodotti ampiamente previsto, non abbiamo un buon modo per sentirsi lo stock di commercio su annunci di nuovi prodotti, che sono talvolta 'vendere le notizie' manifestazioni", ha scritto. "Vorremmo approfittare della debolezza di aggiungere alle posizioni".</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I was at the office of <a title="Tocuhtable" href="http://www.cantouch.nl" target="_blank">CanTouch</a> to see the multitouch table and have fun being together with Geeks. With me were <a title="Barcinski jeanjean" href="http://www.barcinski-jeanjean.com" target="_blank">Adrien Jeanjean and Mark Barcinski</a>, two very talented Flash developers. the current prototype they have makes use of TouchLib, Flosc and Flash.</p>
<p>The main issue with multitouch tables in general is latency. There is a time-lag between the movements made by the user and the response by the software.</p>
<p>The main chain consists of the following:</p>
<p><img src="http://peterkaptein.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/image7.jpg" alt="latency" width="500" height="150" /></p>
<p>One of the possible response-killers is Flosc + XML sockets. Flosc translates the X/Y coordinates from TouchLib to XML and offers the result to Flahs via XML Sockets. Flosc, however, offers no intelligence. Every event regarding changes registered in TouchLib is immediately fired to Flash via XML Sockets. More events (more fingers on the table) equals more data packets fired to Flash.</p>
<p>Being dependent of Flash polling for data, XML Sockets are not immediate / zero time latency as well.</p>
<p>When brainstorming about this with Erik van der Pluijm we came up with the following setup:</p>
<p><img src="http://peterkaptein.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/image8.jpg" alt="Latency reduction" /></p>
<p>The C# wrapper is directly connected to TouchLib and the Flash Active X component. Any event in TouchLib is passed to Flash with "no" loss of time.</p>
<p>In the next week or so, this solution will be implemented.</p>

<p>HTC has released two stunning new phones with some very interesting new features. Many of the features look like they were ripped straight from the iPhone but with an accelerated GPU it looks like HTC has built some custom applications for contacts, weather, etc which look very nice.</p>
<p>The competition is heating up in the market. I still think Apple had some innovation with iPhone 2.0 up its sleeve.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No puedo creerlo, en la actualidad es muy facil de hacerse de cualquier cosa, incluso de un touchpad casero, gracias a <a href="http://nuigroup.com/" target="_blank">NUI Group</a>, si dispones de:</p>
<blockquote><p>1 Caja de cartón<br />
1 Cristal o Acrilico o Plexiglas<br />
1 Web Cam (philips spc900nc)<br />
Software (Touchlib)<br />
Papel y seguir las instrucciones del video (¡ah!, tambien una computadora... para los distraidos)</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/pQpr3W-YmcQ'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/pQpr3W-YmcQ&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Touchlib</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://nuigroup.com/touchlib/" target="_blank">Touchlib</a> es una libreria para crear superficies interactivas Multi-touch. Funciona a base de seguir manchas de luz infraroja y los interpreta como cuando utilizas el mouse con el boton presionado, cuando sueltas el boton y cuando arrastras. Tambien incluye una aplicacion para configurar y algunos demos para que empieces a usarlo.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">OpenCV es indispensable para usar Touchlib ya que lo usa para muchas cosas.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Touchlib se encuentra bajo una <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php" target="_blank">licencia BSD</a> de software libre, que permite el uso, distribucion y realizar modificaciones.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Instalación de Touchlib (hecha en Ubuntu)<br />
</strong>
</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Actualmente solo hay una manera de hacerlo y es compilando el código fuente, ya que proximamente estará disponible un paquete para la instalación.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">0. Antes que nada, usando Synaptic vamos a instalar:</p>
<ul>
<li>Subversion (svn)</li>
<li>OpenCV</li>
<li>cmake</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:left;">1. Conseguir el código fuente (hacerlo como root)</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"># <code><span style="color:#0000bb;">cd </span><span style="color:#007700;">/</span><span style="color:#0000bb;">usr</span><span style="color:#007700;">/</span><span style="color:#0000bb;">src</span><span style="color:#007700;">/<br />
<span style="color:#000000;"># </span></span></code><code><span style="color:#0000bb;">svn co http</span><span style="color:#007700;">:</span><span style="color:#ff8000;">//touchlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ multitouch</span></code>
</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Nota: Espera hasta que termine, ya que cuando entra en multitouch/tests/ hay unos videos y tarda un poquito dependiendo de su conexión a internet.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Al final te mostrará "Revisión obtenida: 395"<br />
</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">2. Entrar en el directorio y compilar</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="codeblock"><code> <span style="color:#0000bb;"><span style="color:#000000;"># </span>cd multitouch<br />
<span style="color:#000000;"># </span>cmake </span><span style="color:#007700;">.<br />
</span><span style="color:#0000bb;"><span style="color:#000000;"># </span>make</span></code><em><br />
</em></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Nota: el "." despues de cmake es importante, no lo omitan.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">3. Segun yo, eso sería todo, algun error no duden en hacermelo saber.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Nota: tal vez necesites instalar algunos paquetes adicionales y headers de desarrollo para OpenGL y XServer, checa <a href="http://nuigroup.com/wiki/Installing_Touchlib_on_Ubuntu/" target="_blank">ésta pagina</a> y también mira las notas adicionales.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">Realmente trataré de hacer uno de estos, pero ya que tenga la camara y si alguien se aníma a realizarlo, nos comentan que tal les fué o mejor, suban un video.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Tambien se puede instalar en Windows o en Mac OS X, <a href="http://nuigroup.com/wiki/touchlib/" target="_blank">ver instrucciones</a>.</p>
