"There is one glimmer of proof that Courier is actually a real machine: Over at BeingManan, there's more leaked Microsoft information about a research product dubbed Codex. It's based on Microsoft's tablet-UI-rethink InkSeine technology"
There is nothing leaked about this work. The work has been done and published by Ken Hinckley for many years. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kenh/ http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kenh/
That being said, I think that the InkSeine work is great. Hinckley uses it everyday and often uses his technology when presenting his work.
- maukdaddy 17y agoI'm thinking the same thing. This is an awfully convenient "leak". High quality images, video, details. This "leak" is just clever marketing at work.
- idm 17y agoThe Codex work was presented at CHI 09 this year: http://www.google.com/search?q=codex+a+dual+screen+tablet+computer http://www.google.com/search?q=codex+a+dual+screen+tablet+co... I don't have any idea how that could be construed as a leak. It's not even clever marketing - it's just a conference presentation.
- maukdaddy 17y agoSorry, I was referring to the courier tablet device, not the Codex work.
- idm 17y agoNo worries - I was mostly being critical of the original article anyway.
- nirmal 17y agoDid you see some hack two guys in the audience were working on? They basically bound 2 iPhones together to do some similar things using the built-in accelerometers.
