Force Sensing Technology from Microsoft
Apr 20, 08 10:16 PM PDT

Microsoft boffins have come up with force sensing technology that requires much more effort than touching a touch screen display in order to control it - you will be required to bend/twist/stretch/squeeze your handheld device instead. I guess the novelty is there, but is it really practical? After all, spending more energy than you need shouldn't make a device easier to use, in fact it might even be more frustrating especially for the older folks who might have lost a fair bit of their hand strength due to ageing. Anyhow, this technology relies on a quartet of sensors embedded within the device's casing so that it won't need to be made out of special flexi-material. The user will interact with the device's casing, with a plus point being enabling the display to be kept at the most natural viewing angle. Which would you prefer - touch-based navigation or force sensing?
