Microsoft has just introduced to us its new way of how to operate a gadget in a "proper" way - by twisting, squeezing or stretching the gadget with force, which is deemed the most effective way to get your gadget listen to you!
In order to get those gadgets to listen to your twisting or bending actions, they need to be equipped with force-sensing technology. The force-sensing tech is sensitive to all sort of actions by force. Applying different kinds of force to the gadget will make it respond well to various actions such as flipping through document pages or swinging through applications.
The picture shows a modded Samsung UMPC that is equipped with four sensors that detect how you’re trying to manipulate it.
The researchers think the tech will complement but not to replace touchscreens, making devices more active and engaging, or eventually can get rid of those space-wasting buttons to make gadgets smaller. Brought to you via www.TechChee.com
