Anneliese comments on Jigsaw Junior — an iPad App for Kids

That´s a real nice idea. But do I have to buy my child an iPad now? I don´t think that it is needful. So I will carry on using normal real puzzels.

The presentation felt to me like the standard "arranging and resizing photographs" demo of multitouch screens—it looks cool, but doesn't look that useful, and like ilovecomputers above says, there's the gorilla-arm problem.

When I think about it on my own, though, I can see the appeal. Having two hands whose position and finger arrangement work as input means interface designers can have the intuitiveness of the mouse, combined with the efficiency of keyboard shortcuts, combined with the rich interaction of multi-touch.

Plus, a computer interface that doesn't make the user look lazy? I've been waiting for this my whole social life!

I can't see any good reason for this technology to become popular outside of specialized professional software and video games, though. A TV remote seems much more intuitive to me, and harder to accidentally trigger. If it does end up controlling a TV, I think it'll be because it's attached to a game console that includes a DVD player.

Yes — which I why I think the TV is a perfect match for this — occasionally changing channel etc.

Still, didn't light pens teach us that using an interface, that requires you to keep your arm up, is a bad idea?

Hi,

It's James Nichols here, creator of the dubtable. Thanks for the post! I just recently stumbled upon it.

I actually don't use the technology in that CDM post, I use a different library. Details and my e-mail address are on www.dubtable.net.

Thanks!

Following my own analysis, thousands of people in the world get the personal loans from well known creditors. Hence, there is good possibilities to find a short term loan in every country.

@daos

Good points. I don't know how subtle something can be before it simple stops working.
