Amazon Gets Touchy with the Apple
February 13, 2010 at 2:31 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentTags: iPad, kindle
…well, not that kind of touchy.
It appears that Amazon is getting ready for an assault on Apple (which could be the tip of a new iceberg in mobile computing). Although its acquisition, New York based Touchco, has just 6 employees and no commercialized technology (its website now says it is no longer in operation), it appears that Amazon is sweeping them into their R&D function.
Very interesting that Touchco’s technologies allow for multiple users to use one multi-touch screen – that and other innovations may bring some interesting new features, and will certainly bring pressure and healthy competition to the market.

FUNCTIONALL, their term for it, “captures the phenomenon of simple, small and/or cheap products and services designed for low(er)-income consumers in emerging markets, with cross-over appeal to consumers in mature consumer societies.”
It’s an interesting lens through which to look at the global recession and its aftermath – and how companies are adjusting.
Human Computer Interaction – We Give It The “Nod”

(From Nods and winks:How to teach computers to make appropriate gestures, Feb 2nd 2010 | From The Economist online)
Researchers from the University of Southern California have created and validated a model for recognizing the appropriate timing in a conversation for a nod – they’ve figured out what cues lead a person to nod in a conversation (the previous model was much less efficient at predicting when a human subject would nod).
In an age when computing is becoming so interwoven into our experiences, improving user interfaces in just this way could be the next frontier in HCI.
