What They Say
Ultraleap has released a free application that works to allow retrofitted touch kiosks to add a touch-like experience without physical touch.
What We Think
Ultraleap was formed when Ultrahaptics joined with Leap Motion. I have been following the ultrasonic touch technology for years and it took a while, but eventually I became convinced that it was definitely intersting application. However, just as it took a long time to develop really good touch interfaces, it could take a while for people to get used to touchless touch. I still tend to think that a way to quickly and easily connect people’s own smartphones to touch systems would be the best way to go, but I appreciate how hard it would be to make it consistent and universal. And there are still those, like my wife, who do not yet have a smartphone! (BR)
