It was the very end of 2007, and the iPhone had just started being distributed outside the US. Multi-touch was quite confidential back then. I made this to present its technologies and opportunities to students and teachers at my engineering school.
Interaction technique • general term designing a way to interact with the user for a machine • present techniques are mainly the keyboard and the mouse
Interaction technique • general term designing a way to interact with the user for a machine • present techniques are mainly the keyboard and the mouse • alternative techniques are trackpads, touch screens, stylus…
Why “multi-touch” ? • we touch all objects to interact with them : it is the primitive human interaction technique • beyond tactile screens : a whole new way to interact with machines, with all our fingers

Why “multi-touch” ? • we touch all objects to interact with them : it is the primitive human interaction technique • beyond tactile screens : a whole new way to interact with machines, with all our fingers • goal : have a computer react just like a physical object
What are the advantages ? • much easier interaction with computers, by using everyday movements as instructions (see examples) • much more direct interaction, therefore faster and more accurate

Multi-touch in a mobile device The iPhone (and iPod Touch) • no room needed for controls allows for a huge screen : more information displayed • perfect accuracy instead of multiple clicks
Multi-touch in a mobile device The iPhone (and iPod Touch) • no room needed for controls allows for a huge screen : more information displayed • perfect accuracy instead of multiple clicks • no need for a stylus : your fingers are always with you !
Multi-touch improves musical creation The ReacTable • no need to learn complicated software to create incredible music • multi-user experience • amazingly interactive experience
Multi-touch anywhere, anytime Surface • makes everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable • all the computers benefits anywhere in a non- obstrusive way • digital life gets more physical
