Let's all help kill the mouse! I'm OK with keeping the keyboard for
awhile, though. :)
Cheers,

Hi,
the "technology" exists, but perhaps the specific application
implementation you mentioned may not. While I was in the Labs I was
researching some touch screens for table tops and ran across a couple of
systems which would detect gestures without touching the screens.
They could be done (i
My prediction is that the mouse will not go away until it just does
what I think. http://is.gd/eBpt

I imagine a touchscreen control, roughly the same size as a computer
keyboard, but with the same dimensions ratio as the monitor, that you use to
control the main monitor / PC. It would respond to various of gestures - 2
fingers, 3 fingers, swiping, tapping etc.
This could combine the benefits of
I would love to expand this discussion to how the use of gestural
interaction, instead of the mouse, will allow those users who have been
hindered by the mouse. I am thinking of those who use screen readers and
other assistive technologies. Before the mouse we had keyboard, and

Wouldn't adding a touch sensitive surface to replace the conventional
2 buttons and scroll wheel on a mouse be a way of adding finger
gesture sensing technology to conventional mouses?
The technology for adding touch sensing to contoured surfaces maybe a
few years off but it would certainly be mor
I agree with the masses here. Mice and keyboards are remarkably
efficient devices.
I try to imagine operating my microwave with a Wiimote, running
photoshop with a multitouch screen (what, fingers aren't
transparent? who knew?), or using voice commands for practically
anything.
They are all novel
How can a group of well-educated, innovative and forward thinking
people not be interested in some of this research? The computer
keyboard is a soft side-step from typewriter to computing machine.
The mouse is ok, but as one of many sufferers of a repetitive stress
injury, it seems to have created
RSI issues will remain no matter what the input device (even if just
gestural), since it's a catchall term. Treadmill-addicts, tennis
pros, painters, truck drivers, all these people experience their own
forms of repetitive strain injuries (rotater cuff injury, shin
splints, neck strain, sciatica,
I wonder how a device like this:

Changes the the requirement for a mouse?
I know it is only a concept but if I think about multiple touch
planes instead of a single one, I can do both indirect (touch pad)

I don't see the mouse going away, I tend to view gestures like Wii Devices,
operating in a bigger space. I don't see many playing wii tennis in a chair,
and I don't see many mouse+keyboard while standing up.

Somehow every time someone says the mouse will go on retirement I am
not convinced. It's a seriously well designed product which has
