Digital hey guys we're here at marata checking out a project by elliptic Labs
0:14
this is really interesting uh we we've recently talked on the W show about how
0:17
we don't like touching screens uh in laptops and stuff because it's just kind
0:20
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
0:25
becomes taxing where it really doesn't need to be and then touch integration
0:29
with a laptop kind of isn't the greatest even though it's kind of cool so you can
0:32
get in Windows 8 and you can slide in slide in other applications but then um
0:37
it it's it's it's weird because you have to touch your screen on this one you can
0:41
go as as close or as far away as you want with a a depth that you can set so
0:45
if if you start freaking out over here it's not going to do anything but the
0:50
second he gets closer to the screen he can actually pan up and down which is
0:53
nice because if your mom comes over whatever and gives you dinner when you've been gaming for 14 hours when you
0:58
turn to grab the plate you're not going to scroll the screen or do anything
1:02
because the depth is not going to pick it up you can see as he pulls away it
1:05
knows exactly where he is so as he pulls away the dot gets really big as he gets
1:09
closer the dot gets really small it tracks him all over place you can see the data in the top left of where
1:13
exactly he is to like I think three de two decimal points which is pretty
1:17
impressive this is new interaction with computers is a big thing I've seen at
1:21
CES this year Wellness TVs phone cases a
1:24
new interaction with computers and this is a really interesting one because I
1:28
really don't like touching screens despite them being called touch screens
