This reading is based on Tom Igoe's blog post about Physical Computing's Greatest Hits. While reading this, I noticed a bunch of new cool gadgets and inventions that were very intriguing to me, specifically the gloves and the multi-touch interfaces. For my stupid pet trick, I attempted to create a wearable project, and to my dismay, it was a bit out of my league in terms of creation, implementation, and actually making it work was a pain in it self. But I learned a good amount of stuff from trying new things and I was especially excited to read through this. The multi-touch interfaces have also been something that I have always wanted to see and try out, but never had the chance to. I know that Microsoft released a prototype sometime last year with an outrageous estimate, so I know that mass market production won't happen for some time, but it's still something to look forward to. All in all, this was a good read with many very cool and neat ideas that I will definitely try to implement in my final project.
