My Commentary
A similarity between the videos was that pretty much everything was
about swiping across a pad or flat surface. Most of the gestures were
swiping with the hand across the surface. I think there were a couple
of unique ideas in video but for the most part I didn't see anything
new. It seems like a rehash of stuff we already have. One thing that
concerns me is that I know that people with visual impairments really
dislike all this touch screen technology like stuff the iphone. For
instance someone who is blind could not really use the iphone to make a
call because they cannot feel any tactile difference on the glass.
The most strange element of the video was the part where the guy paid
the musician in the subway. This seems stupid to me because that guy
playing the music was more like a video, not a real person. I think
people give money to musicians in the subway because they feel bad for
them or possibly because of a human connection. We see images of poor
starving people in third world countries and rarely give money to them
so I doubt someone would really give money in the way it was done in
that "futuristic" video.
Also, there was a part where a girl was leaning math with this touch
screen device. It is my understanding that the current technologies for
interactive children's book are not being adopted as readily. For
whatever reason parents and children are reluctant about this type of
learning.
