Great video from Dr. Crounse...must watch and what it entails is exploring input methodologies other than using a keyboard...in other words being mobile and not having to haul around a notebook looking for somewhere to "light" in order to do data input...watch the video all the way to the end too...there's another little surprise related to data input...something that may also come out of the labs. Microsoft research is the area where potential products are developed. We saw that with the new "Surface" technology...Below are a couple You Tube videos that goes in to additional detail of both technologies...there is life and data entry beyond the keyboard...BD 

In this edition of House Calls, Dr. Bill Crounse revisits the creative geniuses at Microsoft Research to take a look at InkSeine and Lucidtouch, data input and screen navigation tools that might one day help clinicians and other people around the world work more efficiently.

18 months ago, House Calls for Healthcare Professionals showed viewers something from Microsoft Research called “Play Anywhere”; a technology that allowed users to manipulate images projected on a table with nothing more than their hands. That technology has since been commercialized and is now called Surface Computing. It’s showing up in retail centers and casinos, and perhaps one day in your home or doctor’s office.
