These days it seems that we hear about "multi-touch" interfaces a lot. The iPhone kicked that interface into high gear and when you look around the web you get the feeling that folks think multi-touch should be the interface on everything. Toshiba may be the exception to this as a review on Laptop Magazine demonstrates. Their new Qosmio G55 laptop is not using multi-touch, no the big innovation here is a gesture interface that uses the integrated web cam to interpret hand gestures and execute system functions as a result. I’m not sure how useful this might be but the video demo that Laptop Magazine gives is still impressive. I am more impressed with the high power G55 laptop and its quad-core processor. Now that’s a fast momma.
