And touch devices other than Apple’s too —that’s it, a big difference in that regard, specifically multi-point pressure sensing. Kind of think of it like poly-aftertouch. Another thing is water resistance — working in a wet environment, there’s a video of the Sensel screen device being used with spraying water, and wet hands. The new technology also wraps around the device so it senses both hands if you are holding the device in your hand. I am sure there is more secret stuff too.
ADDED: Apparently they can also apply their sensing technology to three dimensional surfaces. I think this goes beyond wrapping around edges. Not sure exactly how this all could be applied, i thought of things like virtual wind instruments, or the necks of virtual stringed instruments, like a violin, but i’m no doubt thinking far too conventional and low volume. Some sort of gaming device ? Something in a car ?
