Two Hand Multitouch
October 3rd, 2009 | Published in Blog
You know the pinching, pinch out, rotate gestures on the iPhone / Touch … and the Macbook’s two finger swipe, three finger, and dare I say, FOUR finger gestures on the trackpad?
Well, Apple has patented TWO HANDS multitouch technology which describes an apparatus to do things in Sci-Fi movies.
Gotta love the Patent’s department drawings ;)

When software used to interprete the gestures have matured, be exited for the endless possibilities.
For one I can think of, you can actually use the Wii Remote as demonstrated [here - Youtube] to read what you’re gesturing on a wall.
On a related Apple note, the 8GB version has dropped to US$49 with a 2 year plan. Question is, why are we charged RM 2500 here in Malaysia when the American pricepoints are US 199/299 with contract and in UK, you get it free with 40 pounds plan?
