In the following video of the
year 2006! Jeff Han shows off a cheap, scalable multi-touch
and pressure-sensitive computer screen interface that may spell the end of
point-and-click. After
years of research on touch-driven computer displays, Jeff Han has created a
simple, multi-touch, multi-user screen interface that just might herald the end
of the point-and-click era.
The
demo included a virtual lightbox, where he moved photos by fingertip - as if
they were paper on a desk - flicking them across the screen and zooming in and
out by pinching two fingers together, as well as a Google Earth-like map that
he tilted and flew over with simple moves. When
the demo hit the web, bloggers and YouTubers made him a bit of a megastar. (His
video has been watched more than 600,000 times on YouTube alone).
This video seems to demonstrate prior art to Utility Patent 915, which was granted
to Apple (as pointed out at http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-versus-samsung-2012-8)
and was one of the patents that Samsung was found to have infringed on in a
recent lawsuit. "Utility Patent 915: Distinguishes between single-touch
and multi-touch gestures.
