Multitouch and surface computing

Applications of Multi-Touch Tabletop Displays and Their Challenging Issues: An Overview

“…keyboard and mouse [49], in the near future, in the way that the mouse minimized the usage of the keyboard in the past [50]. In addition, it is reported that tabletop displays/surfaces bring the hands-on computing [50] that subsequently enrich the concept of surface computing [25][51][52] [53].…”

“…The developments in multi-touch displays have laid the foundation and encouraged the researchers and designers to come up with the Natural User Interface (NUI) [8] [20]. It is studied that NUI augments users to utilize their natural interaction capabilities to access the digital information as previously GUI facilitated the users to perform extraordinary interaction with computers as compared to CLI [25] [26]. The NUI is considered as a next major development in computing and user interfaces [11] [27].…”

“…The advent of devices with touch-based natural user interfaces (Seow et al, 2009) have revolutionised the way in which users access information. These touch-based displays have pervaded both workflows and leisurely activities for the majority of modern computer users, or indeed the general public using mobile devices with similar interfaces.…”
