Gesture sharing with Amnesia Connect

Jan 26 2011 Published by Fiacre under Future, Multitouch, Technology

An amazing new application of multi-touch technology called Amnesia Connect was released yesterday, demonstrating the future of gesture-based interaction between devices.

[Amnesia Connect] allows instant and seamless sharing and transfer of any content such as photos, music or embedded apps between multiple handheld devices using a Microsoft Surface table using a single gesture.

Following months of research and development, Amnesia Razorfish has replaced the typical ‘send and receive’ interface with a more natural ‘gesture-based’ interface. A smartphone owner can now move their content freely between two devices by simply dragging content off their phone onto a Microsoft Surface Table and back onto another device instantly.

Someday we will download ebooks this way!

Three quick links for Easter

Three items that may be if interest:

  • search-cube is a new visual search engine that allows previews of up to ninety-six websites, videos and images. Combining results from Google with images from Thumbshots, it creates a rotating 3D cube that the user can manipulated to browse the results. While it lacks any ranking capability, it is still an interesting variation on the search engine. Would it be a good way to present search results from an OPAC?
  • Trying to collaborate on a project and need to share your computer screen? Have a look at Pocket Meeting, which can do just that for a one time fee of $5. A quick user review is available from ReadWriteWeb.
