I meant to watch that video when I saw it linked elsewhere but forgot to.

 

It is fairly impressive stuff at 1ms. It'd definitely make using a tablet as a notepad of some sort much much better.

Ummm, yes, but aren't they just bigging up a wish here? The easy bit is defining the requirement, the /real/ research is done in meeting that requirement.

Surely they've met the requirement by actually making a device/prototype that has a touchscreen with a 1ms refresh speed?

 

Or am I missing your criticism?

Is that a genuine, functional item, or simply a demo/concept mock-up for illustration purposes only?

Does it look like a functional touchscreen to you?

Yes it does, but that doesn't prove anything. Have you ever heard of After Effects?

So you think it's faked?

To say it's "faked" is a loaded statement, just say it's a demonstration of how the concept would improve usability. Perhaps it's real, but I didn't get the excitement of a demo of a real, working prototype.

Seems like I'm not alone in my scepticism:
quote: Neebat
You should be aware that MS is not demonstrating any technology here. They're using existing hardware (IR camera and projector) to demonstrate what low-latency would be like for the user.

Also, they're not pointing any metaphorical fingers in this video. I was assuming the hardware is introducing the lag, but it might be the software, and MS may be looking at reducing that. If it's just a software problem, you wouldn't need a new phone and/or tablet to get the fix.
Although it might just be that Neebat is as disillusioned and jaundiced as I am. :/
