  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Water based touch screen COOL

submitted by JiggaJonson

1 decade 4 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

Taichi Inoue made this unique touchscreen system. As the pictures at the link illustrate, the screen lies at the bottom of a water tank about eighteen inches deep. But the user needs to insert just two inches of a finger into the water to activate a feature on the screen. Inoue accomplished this by directing a webcam at the surface of the water. The webcam then measures the location and depth of the finger to provide instructions to the computer. -Neatorama

My vast Intellect has come to terms with what is presented. My comment has changed.

Fantastic science and art !.

Reminds me of when I built a computer in a vat of mineral oil for some reason.

Moving this video to JiggaJonson's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*quality

That would be cool to draw on-screen with that!

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Lann.

I'm guessing someone putting an aquarium bubbler in there would mess up all their fun.

that was neat but I just couldn't get over the dude's heavy breathing the whole time lol
