Multitouch is everywhere these days and it’s not just Apple and that has their finger on it. See what I did there?

In fact, Stantum, a French company, has now come up with something they call “True Multitouch” and it’s more advanced than any of the other touch tech we’ve seen so far. In fact, it utilizes all ten-fingers for its multitouch functions.

You can use as many or as little fingers as you’d like in manipulated the display. You can create all sorts of gestures by waving your palm. Or you can use your finger. Or maybe your elbow. It’s really rather versatile and could be used for touchscreen laptops or even mobile phones. So, what do you think? Does this hold within it the often talked about but yet to be realized iPhone killer tech?

    This technology had a lot of potential. Just think about the potential uses. It would be cool if you could rotate and pick up objects on a big screen like that. Lets hope this is the next big thing. This could be the iPhone killer. Just depends on what company buys it first honestly.

    considering that many people can’t even touch type, I see very little chance people will generally enjoy ten finger gestures, to do, and this is the crux of the matter, precisely what? And for iPhone type 3.5 inch screens, have you ever tried to put more than four fingers on one?

    The technology is providing more and more facilities for easy anf fast work. Earlier notebok was not enough now we can work through our all 10 fingers and even can use elbow also.
