Does anyone play with a touchscreen?

id expect your arms would get rather tired. unless you put the monitors below you with teh screen facing the ceiling. interesting idea.

yeah like a tablet PC maybe. Seems like it would be pretty cool.

I actually have one of these sitting around that I've been meaning to hook up and try...just haven't gotten to it yet.

Well, if you think about it, I'd love to hear how it works.

I'd be willing to try this if I could find a [censored] touchscreen anywhere.

I don't play with a touchscreen, but I do know where to get one. Elotouch is one of the largest manufacturers. Below is their link.

If you already have a nice large display, you can purchase just the touch sensor and integrate it into your monitor yourself. It isn't that difficult.

About 7 years ago, I developed a program to input medical data for patients via a touchscreen.

If the technology hasn't improved tremendously with the touchscreens then it is not worth it, because you had to touch it in just the right area for it to work. So instead of using radio buttons for my questionairre I had to reprogram the entire thing with much larger buttons. The technology may be drastically improved in the last years, but the buttons on the poker interfaces are fairly close together.

Next weekend I'll try to find the box it's in and report back.

Your arms wont get tired.
I'm using a wacom tablet as a mouse. It's the A4 size which is pretty big. So I move my hand as mucch as when you use a touch screen.

Try it out, it's quite funny when you use it for the first time. When you're bored try your left hand. That's even funnier.
