As a follow up to the last post, I wanted to share another cool mobile interface I came across. Some researchers at a Microsoft and Mitsubishi electric research labs have created a mobile interface they’re calling “lucid touch”.
The prototype uses the back of the device as a multi-touch interface that you use with both hands as you grip the device. To let the user visualize what they’re doing, they’ve projected the user’s fingers onto the screen, creating a translucent effect where you see the shadows of your fingers moving behind the screen and interacting with it.
Using the dual touch screen, you can zoom in and out of a map by pulling out and pushing in your fingers, rotate the map by spinning the screen like a disk, and type using a keypad broken into two halves where the fingers naturally lie. Check out the demo below:
