I'd say "no, no, no" too, because prolonged use of a vertical touch surface is ergonomically unfeasible.

- mishmash 15y agoSaw that too, surely they'll make a toggle or something to switch x/y-axis, maybe it's already in Windows?
- kiiski 15y agoI think one of use misunderstood him. I assume he meant that using a touch screen that's in front of you (vertically) is unfeasible (nothing to do with x/y-axises).
- mishmash 15y agoOh, yeah I was talking about the millions of primarily vertical scrolling mousewheels Microsoft helped put out there.
- mikecane 15y agoI wonder if they've thought about a Kinect interface so Air Gestures can be used for those who intend to have an upright screen mostly for keyboard-heavy work.
- 5teev 15y agoIt might be good for extremely passive users for whom a computer is just a fancy TV. Tap the screen, sit back and watch stuff. This is one of those features that seems really cool in a demo, but in practice...well, even decades later my shoulder hurts just thinking about the hour I spent using a "light pen" interface on a vertical "touch" screen.
