Interesting hardware development

Post by Mbazzy » Thu Apr 01, 2004 10:58 am

It's an intriguing concept, but Ergodex has plans beyond customizable keyboards. Imagine, for example, placing analog sliders or knobs anywhere on a planar surface. Think of Ergodex as a kind of LEGO building block system for input devices. In addition to developing their own products, Ergodex is looking for OEM partners. The DX1's estimated price is roughly $149, which includes the pad, 25 customizable keys, and visual programming software.

That certainly puts a twist on the whole interface thang... though how much would it suck to loose one of those controls?

I was just assuming that each piece would have a distinct signal it generated so that the interface could tell the difference between different knobs... on this... as with other things I may have been wrong... guess I should go read up on it more heh.
