Interisting:

Very cool and very clever, this could be used effectively on smart phones and tablets. Not sure I would want to use it on my proper machine though.

Impressive. I seems he must be doing something similar to a lightpen. I'd like to see him do this for a 68000 machine since the OSs where generally GUI and more supportive of this way of interation.

Humm... this one I just discouvered because of my ocasionilly visits onto the 'dark side' :

From the posts on that site:

 

...you can navigate with the cursor keys / return key or the joystick / fire button (port 2 only, port one interferes with the cursor keys and I couldn't figure a way to tell them apart). In the non-touch mode a familiar logo comes up so you can see what icon you are currently selecting.

The touch screen is off-the-shelf parts from Digi-key. 3M single touch, capacitive with a serial interface module. So, yes, the touch screen comes in the user port. It's only running at 1200 baud right now!

Might be completely wrong, but at 2m 28s to 2m 43s, can I hear the Yoomp! title screen in the background?

probably, this looks (and sounds) like it was taken at VCF MW, and there's a lot more going on there than just the ECCC (commodore) stuff

Personally I prefere this LCARS interface for tablet Atari...

Hi there Jose.

 

Here is link to LCARS site http://www.lcarscom.net/

If you inspect it you'll find that all things there are available for Atari from Colors to Sounds.

 

And it's funny and more interested then MS Metro interface.
