Plenty of gadgets and technologies have been formulated over the years to interact with computers and laptops. There have been keyboards, mouse and touchscreens, to name a few. And this time round at CES, there has been yet another innovative technique that impressed quite a big audience – the SUMA concept. This has been developed by the Cambridge Consultants.
The SUMA platform is said to be way to interact with computers based on pressure applied in a 3D environment. This pressure is then converted into a format that can be interpreted by the computer. In the SUMA platform, the variations of pressure points and the amount of pressure applied can seemingly be gauged too.
Cambridge Consultants demonstrated the working of this platform in a game, where squeezing the physical interface, caused the ball on the computer screen to shrink in size. Plus, physically turning the interface caused the objects to tilt on the screen as well.
According to the company, the SUMA platform can find use in various fields, like medicine, industries, arts and music as well. There has been no exact information as to which devices which actually come out with this interface. However, a company insider has mentioned that such devices can be expected in 2011.
