In the video the scrolling action looked a bit laggy to me though. And I'm still betting the iPhone is the game-changing device but props to the awesomely-named High Tech Corporation.

Oh, and apparently HTC uses WinCE, not sure if that's what's in TouchFlo as well.

Oh dear, beer goggles combined with beer opinions.

Paper that can talk to you, Tables that can see you, what's next? Beer that can smell you?

Beer that can talk to you would be better:

'what, I am your 6th beer of the evening? Was I not good enough to be your first? What is it, my butt looks big in this can?'

it works differently from most touchscreens, uses IR light spectrum to shine through the surface so it can located whatever is on the screen. that's interesting to me. I think if the whole thing were put vertical and walls were made out of them and they could talk to each other and you could have a "personal assistant" follow you around the a building and give you information (i.e. how to fix this blasted toilet) then we'd be talking serious usefulness.

we aren't there yet, though

Yeah no one else played that game, that's why it had a sequel.

[Xog]

whats the point in posting anymore

[Vykromond]

Right up there with Derek Smart on the list of shit gamemakers OHHHHHHHHHHHH BURNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnn

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Molyneux certainly ranks right up there.

I was thinking Populous and Dungeon Keeper, but all 3 of those games have the same developer :P

Multitouch god games?

Combined with the gesture interface of Black and White, you have the coolest game ever.

[GuruMeditation]

If they combine that with sandbox environments like this : http://ishi.blog2.fc2.com/blog-entry-180.html - that's it. We're doomed.

Multitouch Lemmings?
Multitouch RTS?
Multitouch god games?

I'm going to smite you, and you, and you, and you at the same time!

Yep, my brain conflated the iPhone and that MIT presentation it seems. Looks like my point stands though!
