...Mobile and Client Computing team at Gartner, said that, "What we're going to see is the younger generation beginning to use touchscreen computers ahead of enterprise." Nowadays, this is very much evident in public areas like malls, wherein many of the pollution are into using touch screen devices. From large screen devices like IPad and Android tablets, to mobile phones which used to be just for SMS and calling, now for variety of purpose, the rampant use of touch screen type of device, especially by younger generation, is a strong indicator that touch technology to displace the wimp interface. To be able to select a function in the desktop while working on a document processor application such as MS Word, it has been important to have the skills on clicking an icon or simply doing a left click on mouse. Double-clicking and doing a right-click on the mouse for more options to choose for an icon selected, have also been widely accepted. Mouse design even improved from two buttons to about five including the scroll button, to accommodate the need for greater speed on maneuvering in the desktop. However, Apple introduced the single button device (home button) in their products, in partner with the touch screen feature, which has gained high approval from many users. This innovation, had a high impact on diversifying the way to interact with computer devices, intuitive designs or features that predicts next move is rapidly being developed. “The ‘muscle memory’ of mouse users and the...

...A touchscreen is an electronic visual display that the user can control through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus/pen and-or one or more fingers. Some touchscreens an ordinary or specially coated gloves work too while others only a special stylus/pen will work. The user can use the touchscreen to react to what is displayed and to control how it is displayed (for example by zooming the text size). The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or any other intermediate device (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touchscreens). Touchscreens are common in devices such as game consoles, all-in-one computers, tablet computers, and smartphones. They can also be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. They also play a prominent role in the design of digital appliances such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite navigationdevices, mobile phones, and video games and some books (Electronic books). The popularity of smartphones, tablets, and many types of information appliances is driving the demand and acceptance of common touchscreens for portable and functional electronics. Touchscreens are found in the medical field and in heavy industry, as well as for automated teller machines (ATMs), and kiosks such as museum displays or room automation, where keyboard and mouse systems do not allow a suitably intuitive, rapid, or accurate interaction...

...CIS 375 Assignment 1: Multi-touch screens VS mouse driven screens Frisch Adanou Instructor: Prof. Kourosh Samia 22/10/14 VS VS 1. The design of an application always requires metaphors in order to make the interface easy to use once the user lays hands on it. However, with the appearance of touch-based computers, the regular metaphors built around click and drag have gone through a shift of usage and implementation like you’ll see in the following examples: Metaphors Metaphors Touch Screen Touch Screen Regular Screen Regular Screen Desktop Desktop Scroll Scroll Zoom Zoom Figure 1: Regular and touch screen metaphors As you can see on the above picture, both types of screens share common metaphors but how those metaphors are implemented and used on both screens differs. 2. Different kinds of interaction types and styles apply to both kinds of monitors and here are few: * App startup: Usually, double clicking an app on a regular screen used to help start it up but on a touch screen, everything is very intuitive so since the users already know they can interact with the screen, they can just tap the app and it starts right up. * Navigation: When an app is opened...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Even though modern technology has invested millions, even billions, into projection screen technology, high definition projectors, and even projectors for our cell phones, we have forgotten that we will always need something to project on. Unfortunately, with the tragic proliferation of advertising these days, we are probably looking at a future world where all the space on the buildings is taken for billboards and other various projected ads. The only place that would not be taken is the spaces that people walk through. However, that is an option that we can use, with the Heliodisplay or Fogscreen projector. [pic] Figure.1.1 Heliodisplay. Current technologies attempt to create the visual perception of a free-floating image through the manipulation of depth cues generated from two-dimensional data employing well-established techniques. A few examples of these include stereoscopic imaging via shutter or polarized glasses, as well as auto-stereoscopic technologies composed of lenticular screens directing light from a conventional display, or real-imaging devices utilizing concave mirror arrangements. All of these technologies suffer convergence and accommodation limitations. In order to resolve this visual limitation, the image and its perceived location must coincide spatially. A well-established method solving this constraint is by projection onto an invisible...

...the project a necessity (silk screen or inkjet printer). 2. Based on your recommended criteria, what projects would you recommend USP fund this year? Are there any types of projects you would recommend USP pursue that were not proposed? If USP would invest $700,000, I would recommend USP to pursue the purchase of inkjet printers because they have a lower initial cost, the productivity will be the same as the new silk screen printer and it is a necessity. They will also be able to add more printers if needed to increase production in the future for $23,500. The payback will be less than one year compared to the silk screen. The four-color positives project would cut lead time to the process in place. With a cost of $175,000 and reoccurring cost of $375 each job. Pursue the ISO 9000 project in order to get processes standardized and then being able to go global. Then there are still some resources to get the ink mixing procedure less specialized. Possible projects that were not proposed could be digital printing or what new processes are being used now in the industry. 3. What, if any, additional information would you want in making your recommendations? How would you go about obtaining this information? How important is going global to the executives at USP and the ISO 9000 project? Is there something better than inkjet printers? How big are the orders that USP receives on average? Does USP want to stay with the silk screen printing or do they want to invest...
