Let’s Play Dead Space Part 1 – Name That Necromorph

Mobile Apps are Personalized and Streamlined

Just a couple of years back, the words ‘mobile readers’ would mean absolutely nothing. But as technology is advancing at an exponential rate, so too is the world around us. Browsing the internet on your mobile device can be somewhat of a painful experience, with users either getting a stripped down version or having to constantly zoom in and out.

What’s that I hear you say? Although not apparent at first, Touché is Disney’s attempt to revolutionise touchscreen technology. Touchscreen technology is now most associated with mobile devices, as it forms the very basis of smartphones and tablets. However it has found its way into many areas. For instance, the days of the shopping mall paper maps are numbered as an increasing number turn to touchscreen stations for guidance. Additionally, VTech, a manufacturer of children’s electronic learning toys, has implemented touchscreen technology into some of its latest products such as the MobiGo, Storio and the Innotab, which aims to be a learning app tablet for 4-9 year olds. The list could go on and on. But researchers at Disney are looking for their next source of magic, and it’s not in the form of any character or blockbuster movie. They are looking to take touchscreen technology to a whole new level where everything you come into contact with, from a lamp to a laser printer in the office, could be activated by the flick of a finger.
