Re: [IxDA Discuss] 10gui responses?
I've mostly had this problem of using the mouse pad to execute a press click wrongly when I actually wanted to move the mouse at the first tap and drag action. I wonder if this would exist on this type of touch pad too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 10gui responses?
Interesting rethink of window management. I like how it's setup. The zooming in particular is very nice. My only issue would be the input device configuration. I think that's the major drawback with this setup at the moment. Would this multitouch surface sit in front of your keyboard? Would the keyboard/multitouch configuration be one unit? Perhaps a virtual keyboard projected onto the screen? http://subimage.com http://twitter.com/subimage On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 8:02 AM, Jerome Covington jeromecoving...@gmail.com wrote: I'd be interested in knowing reactions of the IxDA community to this proof of concept. http://10gui.com/video/ -- Regards, Jerome jeromecoving...@gmail.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeromecovington http://delicious.com/jeromecovington http://twitter.com/jeromecovington http://www.fbook.me/jeromecovington Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 10gui responses?
the concept is really interesting and I like it quite a bit. I wonder what testing would reveal about the learnability? Some commands that use two fingers and others that use three might be tough/confusing/frustrating for users in the beginning which could lead to errors and ultimately low acceptance. Just a thought. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 10gui responses?
Hey Jerome, good to see you here. I've seen that interface (or a very similar one) before. The biggest problem in my mind is that most users have enough problems using a mouse, where they only need to use one hand and (at most) a couple of fingers on that hand. Now forcing them to use all ten fingers to work with their applications and manager their workflow? That would be a disaster. Also, from an accessibilty point, this causes serious problems. What if a person has lost a finger, or a hand? Or doesn't have good mobility in fingers/hands/arms? The standard X/Y coordinated plane with windowed applications, provides a much simpler interface where other input devices can be created and mapped to allow for better accessibility to those that may have a handicap. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 10gui responses?
Interesting concept, but as the video mentions, fatigue is an issue. I wonder about how this interface would contribute to fatigue. As I type this entry, both my hands get respite from resting on my thumbs. If, as proposed in this video, I'd have to raise my non-dominant hand from the surface while my dominant hand uses 4 fingers to move an object, I'll tire out quickly after a solid day of using Photoshop. I'm wondering if following the modifer-key 'design pattern' of the keyboard would aid this interface (such as pressing 2 fingers of your right hand to trigger the move object command and pressing 3 fingers of the left hand to move the object). I'd also like to not have to raise my thumb much, it'd be less stressful to be able to drag the thumb around than to keep it raised during most of the activities. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
