Apple Patent New Touch Idea's


Apple have now patented more touch technology which is in use in the iPhone and iTouch. It looks now that the touch technologies will be coming to the iMac and Mac Book Pro, meaning a host of new and manipulated software program's. One patent is a touch screen virtual DJ, playing files from your computer as shown above. I'd still rather use a physical object and if using MP3/WAV, use Serrato as you are still using a deck, , but this new system which has been used a few times on a massive desktop screen by the likes of Kerri Chandler recently, is still a massive breakthrough that a company such as Apple is looking into it. Only time will tell if it will be part of iLife or a standalone programme. The other touch ideas are that of the dock, photo applications and video application. More reading here.
