BendDesk: Multi-touch on a Curved Display 

this is how human beings advance, by innovative people like this, making new things... although useless at first, but may prove to be life changing for all of us in the future

It's OK. People who criticize at this level of development are eventually the ones who will mindlessly shell out for it later. Just keep developing and rest assured that you will get what's in the "haters" wallets later on! Great work! This desk is awesome!

this crazy piano touch going to be the future! congratulation!! i want to see this video in a hundred years!

I think 2012 is going to have the coolest stuff coming out.

PERFECT to be a mixer console platafform for any audio/video editors and studios. This is the future.

Wow. Love them curves. BendDesk. The future of super PC computing. Forget tablets and mobile devices. This is the real progress.

this is an epic design for an home computer, sure it needs some work but because of the size its both your computer and your desk at the same time

That was a low-tech solution for a cool system - great concept work. Now that we are getting bendable LED / OLED screens, this will probably become an actual product.

It's an alpha/beta version, and more of a concept than a finished product. The y worked with what they had, and did a damn good job with it.

So what you've done was taken the first Microsoft surface and bent it 90 degrees?

that's actually pretty awesome! a movie could be put on the top part for watching while if you want to draw something in your favorite drawing program, you can put it at the bottom

awsome concept honestly i see a great future for this interactive surface.

21 years later don't see this product anywhere? Too bad it looked very interesting !

Amazing, although theres some lag between touch and reaction, is it because the software its too early or because of the time it takes the camera to relay the info to the computer?

Love the ingenuity!

It's really awesome. You can use this in so many ways! revolutionary ;)

Cool What kind of OS does it run it it a custom made one just for the desk

Cool concept for sure and great job! I hope people see the limitations of having to reach an arm over to a location to do something though... makes the old mouse look pretty powerful. Touch has its place but I believe it to only useful to a point...

Great music! relaxing!

really cool! and i dont really care if i´m gonna use it in future, it is still a cool project you made there!

@hirvikumbbaa Infact, you can use this for SO many things! For example, you can emulate a real desk with virtual text files piled in one area like a real desk, except the whole desk is a computer! You can use the bent part to pin up reminders and due-dates and other things like that.

The usual crop of haters are hating (as haters will) on this AMAZING hack! I so want a system like this in my office! Hell, I'd like to have an entire ROOM like this! Holodeck 0.2, anybody?

It looks amazing! I've seen touch technology with cameras and stuff, but this model of usage is really well done. I am really interested to know about any development platforms you guys are using to build O.S. and apps to this BendDesk stuff. Please let me know about it. Congratz!

omg, this guy is a genius. everyone needs to stop hating on people

oh maaan, I wanna my desk so! How much cost all? :)

Amazing!!!... I want one of this in my house!!!!!

but where do I put my mug?

Good job guys, this thing is badass

i want to know how it would work with fps an mmorpgs like c.o.d 4 and WoW

@EvolutionXEngine That is an excellent question!

Does megaupload works here? :'(

awesome work!! cheers!

Very cool. But still no thought about the >100ms latencies!?

Have instructions to Do-It-Yourself?

nice but will it blend?

Brilliant work!

where can you buy this or is it DIY?

The entire box looks like a grand piano :) takes as much space also :)

you guys have done something that people think only apple and Microsoft do keep up the good work and does the PC your running that with run on Linux?

best use as pianno.

compare the 2018 monitor out there, i d buy this

Is it an FTIR table ?

can we buy it :D

Innovative, good work !!!

AWESOME!!! Does It run on a Windows Platform?

it would be a bit big?

I imagine a Synth, audio editor in realtime much things :) its awsome

song ??

you got a fine taste of music, sir

awesome desktop pc concept. let's just hope this comes out earlier than 2015.

I don't know, I think this angle probably wasn't the best way to showcase the desk, what's the end user experience?

but will it blend?

COOL and very nice, software ? No Edge Blending software ?

how menchent iphone ? :P

how much do you ask for it???

This is amazing. so cool :-)

I always noticed that on previews for touch devices, they ALWAYS have a 'Photo Organizing' thing. When would I EVER need to organize my photos?!

photo demo is awesome!

Wonderful products!

build by yourself??

i wanna know if it will blend... forget the hammer..

@kurb77 that's not the point, they are demonstrating a curved multi-touch surface.

This would be greatt for windows, the windows taskbar would be where the curve is, etc, it would be cool to see this mass produced

@InventorSolidworks I assume you spend all your money and all your spare time reaching that goal too, is that correct?

ainda precisa ser mais rápido e preciso , mas excelente ideia .

itd be cool to lay on a support thats between 0 and 90 degrees adjustable and lie on that with your arms in perfect striking distance itd be better ergonomics than chairs possibly

This can be done with OLED

Fantastic!

no esta mal la idea, pero se puede optimizar, sobretodo en función del espacio. quizá si el projector estuviese a 45º y proyectase tanto la pantalla superior como la inferior con una distorsión gráfica, solo apreciable en una pantalla de pc, el efecto seria mejor por menos espacio. creo que no me supe explicar adecuadamente, pero estoy seguro que ustedes entenderán.

This is wicked!

Why isn't this still a thing?!

Just because it's there doesn't mean it has to _always_ be used, nor that it's for all tasks. Consider photo editing: you have a bunch of imported photos on the horizontal area, you drag 'em to the top area to see a larger size, then to the bend to "hold" the interesting ones. Once you've sorted that, you drag one to the top area for editing, with the tools, pallet, drawing space (like a Wacom tablet would be used), and a detail view of the part you're currently working on in the bottom area.

Touchscreen for Mac OSX Mavericks Logic Pro X Demo

iTable or iDesk...future apple mac product?

the response time of touch is kinda delayed as i saw...

i like what u did truly cool

touch screen piano?

if i could make something as outstanding as this, i could get so many things done... on the computer that is

Pretty impressive that this was in 2010.

@hoboX10 Wait? Why wait?

WOW!!!! off to update xmass list ;)

What an Amazing prototype concept. Minority report here we come.

Glass surface would be really cool.

the question is will it blend?

I thought this was gonna be some massive OLED Desktop thing. GOD could you imagine that?

@twighlightsparke I would go outside but it's snowing

Thank you, for the future.

I guess that's down to the quality of the cameras, perhaps if when tech gets good enough for a reasonable price they could do it with 120fps cameras instead, that would solve the latency issues providing the computer is powerful enough to process the info from the cameras :)

Yes, using X10 technology, it will blend!

IT's very interestanting.... 13 years later it is reality!

I want it sooo bad 😍😍😍

WOW!!!! off to update my xmass list ;)

The next Battleship board game should be like this!

What about the software? I think its the most important part of this stuff.

wowwww muy interesante!!!!

I would love this as a workstation. It'd replace my computer desk.

great job man, want a job helping in command central when i run for office..

@MrRightFFM2 i mean, im still in high school and we have touch screens in most of our class rooms. there are places with touch screens in the bathrooms -__-. sorry if im coming off strong, but im a very passionate person.. and im bored:D

awesome!!!! thumbs

if anyone remembers bumptop. this would be great on it.
