[Proposal pending] A multi-touch approach
So we hear how iphone has become the multi-touch leader... And the creator of gestures, kinda like what they did with cut an paste...
What I would like to see happen on Maemo is to have the platform empower me to create my own gestures. Single or multi-touch. I have an assumption that persons from different cultures interact with "things" differently. Think about creating a catalog of actions that are the result of a given gesture. allow the user to build their own gestures and link them to the action. This would need to be an extension of the od and tied into the SDK/dev envt so that developers code to the abstraction of the gesture / action rather then some sort of hard coded thing. If any one is interested in exploring the idea I would be happy to. I am not a developer but rather a functional design guy. I have been thinking about it for a few days and would be happy to work with someone about putting the idea to paper along with some basic wireframes. |
Re: A multi-touch approach
N900 is using resistive tech and that mean multi-touch is unsupported.

Re: A multi-touch approach
So matthewcc, are you going to write up a Brainstorm proposal on this? If you do, please keep the main proposal generic (posed as a problem, need, desire, etc) and then add your suggestion as Solution #1.
If you need help just ask! |

Re: A multi-touch approach
I don't know about you guys, but multitouch on a resistive is possible. It really depends on the type of screen.
Also, at least it's possible on the 5800 http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/00...e_for_5800.htm I do hope this is possible with the N900 |

Re: A multi-touch approach
Guys... the key point here is not "support multi-touch" that is understood. The key thing here is how it is implemented. Anyone can do multi-touch, what will differentiate us is how we do it. This probably should have been put out as a process patent anyway! doh!
