Masaki from Stantum Japan gave me a tour of their multi-touch screen technology showcased on their Slate PC proof of concept device, which if you remember, is a modded Dell Mini 10.

Watch the video.

I came away quite impressed with the technology - it seemed very responsive and sensitive to the touch, more than some of the touch screens that were showcased at FPD 2009. But what do I know, my experience with touch screens is pretty limited to Kohjinsha netbooks. There’s support for 10 points on the screen, with any sort of device - fingers, fingernails, stylus, glove or.. paintbrush as you will see in the video. Not that you’ll even need 10 points for a tablet PC usage scenario but it’s quite important for other industries where Stantum is involved in.

I asked why resistive instead of capacitive and was pointed out some key differences between the two, or basically resistive vs iPhone / iPod Touch, heh.

More slides showing key features of Stantum’s resistive touch panels:

Stantum is looking to break into all sorts of markets with touch panels sized from 2.5” - 30” including mobile and netbook markets so hopefully we’ll see a tablet netbook with one of their screens in the near future.

Thanks.  I just ran across your blog. 

I follow Stantum and embedded the video demonstration you posted on YouTube on my blog.  Thanks so much!

My wish is to have my own lab so I can create and test out various interactive applications that run on screens of all sizes, and play with new interactive gadgets and displays. I’d also like to provide mobile lab services so I can go out and see how emerging technologies play out in real-life situations and settings.

Seemed very responsive. Wish you’d showed web browsing though. Scrolling responsiveness is going to be critical if the vertical resolution is only going to be 600 pixels or so. If the production model continues to use the Z series Atom at least flash will play full screen.
