It was about time to take a look at a DIY home project that involves some kind of touch screen technology. So here it is: a developer, a genius nonetheless, has turned his living room wall into a giant touchscreen by using his Android headset, a projector and a Microsoft Kinect sensor.After installing a custom ROM on the Android headset and doing some PC programming he was able to make the Kinect detect his hand's movement on the wall and send the gesture information via his PC to the Androi...

One of the things the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime tablet is proud off, besides the quad-core Tegra 3 processor, is the 8 MP camera with f2.4 aperture, back illuminated CMOS sensor, depth of field effect and color enhancement by 30% (that's pretty vague, but we'll take it for now).I don't know if it's really a match for the iPhone 4S, a smartphone that has set new heights for what a non-digital camera can do. Anyway ASUS is proud to showcase the new camera capabilities, as it posted a few ...

Android was a disappointment for many tablet users this year, that's why sales went through the competition (aka the iPad 2). Google does not like this situation and made sure people have a reason to buy Android tablets by constantly tweaking and adding new features. The last announced version, 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, hasn't made an appearance in tablet until today, when Nvidia demoed it running flawlessly on a Tegra 3 chipset (at least for the 1 min 30 seconds duration of the demo clip).Do...

The most anticipated piece of software for next year is Windows 8, the operating system that's supposed to bring ARM to a position to threat Intel's decades old x86 supremacy by lowering computing requirements to a point where current tablet hardware could be able to run Microsoft's OS fluently, with all the apps we normally use.There's a lot of time left before the official launch, but info keeps leaking about the new features in Windows 8. The latest video shows the TIP (Tablet Input Pane...

I don't know if you remember, but we've mentioned briefly the OnLive cloud gaming service when we've talked about the HTC Flyer 7 inch Android tablet. As a reminder, OnLive is an unique way to play the most demanding games on the least powerful devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops. How OnLive took the cloud concept and applied it to gaming is very interesting: servers thousands of miles away from the gamer act like remote consoles, controlled from distance by OnLive subscribers with the...

We've been talking about Windows 8 for a while now on AllTouchTablet, but all we had was speculation. All that changed today, when Microsoft showcased the user interface of the next generation Windows operating system, which will unify interfaces for desktops, laptops and tablets. Even if Microsoft didn't answer a lot of the questions of people's mind, the short demo of the user interface left everyone with a good impression, especially since Microsoft showed they finally have a competitive touc...

Touch interfaces have evolved a lot in past years, from a simple pen that was used to hit elements on the screen to multi touch gestures and capacitive screens with which we interact using our fingers. User interfaces become more evolved and native operating systems for touch interaction were introduced. All of this was driven by consumer interest in this method of interaction with gadgets, and as the interest grows thanks to tablets like the iPad it's normal for touch interfaces to evolve more....

RIM is a company known for its business smartphones. This is a reason many were concerned about Blackberry's tablet codename, Playbook, as it indicated a multimedia device, somehow deviating from the RIM's previous orientation. Apparently RIM is trying to emphasize their flexibility, by offering good multimedia features on a device that keeps the company's business core.Why i say this is because RIM just released a video preview with Blackberry Playbook that shows up the business capabilitie...

You know everyone got excited last month about the perspective of an early release of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but things didn't play out well and we're still waiting for Google to say or do something. Apparently they're not sitting watching TV, as video previews of the Android 2.3 started surfacing the web, from where else than Asia, who always seem to be the first to get their hands on unreleased products, most of the time against the will of those making the products.Anyway, we've got a s...

I love reading about new touchscreen technologies, it puts me in that state of mind where I find myself imagining the future, how gadgets will look like and feel like in a couple of years or decades. The latest touch related prototype is the touchscreen disposable paper. You heard right, it's a touch technology where the display is made of paper, and you can interact with it not only by touch but also by shaking and even blowing air over the surface of the paper, as a special video camera softwa...
