If it does, is it an improvement over a mouse? Big improvement? Minor? or just a hassle?
 
Can it work like the big screens they used in the movie "Minority Report" ???
 
If it doesn't, consider it a Feature Request. One of the upcoming Windows versions will be designed especially for touch screen control (multi-finger touch, not just wimpy single finger)

From an application developer's point of view, I feel as though most things have no point for multi-touch.
What are the most common applications? Word? Excel? a browser? I feel as though it's a toy, not a usefull feature. I rearly break out my Wacom on my desktop or switch to tablet modle on the laptop unles I'm in Photoshop, or taking notes and don't feel like typing.
 
Of course I culd be wrong. What exactly would you like to do if you could use two fingers to work with Aurora? I'm guessing you have a tablet, since i'd be pushing my monitors all over the place.
 
As for Does Aurora support touch screen? It supports a single user input. The touch screen works fine with my tablet. Of course I use the pen with it, it would probably work fine if you have a Wacom as well, but then it's harder to use other buttoms on a standard mouse.
 
I thought MS already had a multi-touch feature? Am I thinking of thier prototype table in some hotels?
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

I'm thinking (perhaps that's the problem) of different ways to interact with the screen. Perhaps even multi-user.

Have you ever used a smart whiteboard? There are several vendors, one of them is called "SmartBoard."
 
It just seemed easier to use a touch panel than to hook the program directly into my cerebral cortex. :)

Well, if you have an extra one around, pass it on down! :)
Basic interaction if fine, and that's all good in certain areas, I just don't hink that that has much of a point in development/bussiness/programming, and all we are doing is programming a pile of relays.
 
Are you saying that you'd like to be working on multiple different channels at the same time? Have an old-school LAN party and put Aurora up on the board and everyone comes up and helps sequence!? I'M IN!
