Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital hey guys we're here at marata checking out a project by elliptic Labs
this is really interesting uh we we've recently talked on the W show about how
we don't like touching screens uh in laptops and stuff because it's just kind
of gross you don't want all those finger marks on your screen and then you have to clean it all the time and it it it
becomes taxing where it really doesn't need to be and then touch integration
with a laptop kind of isn't the greatest even though it's kind of cool so you can
get in Windows 8 and you can slide in slide in other applications but then um
it it's it's it's weird because you have to touch your screen on this one you can
go as as close or as far away as you want with a a depth that you can set so
if if you start freaking out over here it's not going to do anything but the
second he gets closer to the screen he can actually pan up and down which is
nice because if your mom comes over whatever and gives you dinner when you've been gaming for 14 hours when you
turn to grab the plate you're not going to scroll the screen or do anything
because the depth is not going to pick it up you can see as he pulls away it
knows exactly where he is so as he pulls away the dot gets really big as he gets
closer the dot gets really small it tracks him all over place you can see the data in the top left of where
exactly he is to like I think three de two decimal points which is pretty
impressive this is new interaction with computers is a big thing I've seen at
CES this year Wellness TVs phone cases a
new interaction with computers and this is a really interesting one because I
really don't like touching screens despite them being called touch screens
