ChrisB: *g* zum Dienstag: MicroSoft pateniert das Umblättern

Hi,

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/08/microsoft_virtual_page_turn_patent/

Geht um “page-flipping gestures” bei der Bedienung von Ebooks, dazu passendes optisches Feedback und das Blättern mehrerer Seiten auf einmal.

Das beste kommt jedoch zum Schluss:
“We would be remiss if we didn't credit Microsoft with one intriguing detail in the 11-page patent application. In discussing input methods, the filing notes that "sources other than fingers may be used to execute a page-turning gesture." We'll simply leave the implications of that capability to your imagination.”
