harmonise to a letters patent filed by Apple , the company ’s MacBook touchpads and signature tune iPod clickwheel might be in for a very ocular renovation . The proposed technology will grant for both lighting and gloss responses to user fundamental interaction . If Apple follows through with its plans , when you get to use touchpads and clickwheels on next contemporaries production , you might get a bit of a show .
While most of it sounds fairly decorative , the idea of a touchpad that glows brighter with more pressure , survey around tactile input by the substance abuser , and changes colour sounds pretty damn nerveless to us , and helps make things more intuitive on the user ’s end . The 34 Thomas Nelson Page patent outlines the plans which sound like anything from an LCD touch screen to a traditional touchpad backlit with LEDs . From the letters patent :
By way of illustration , it may be worthy to put up visual stimuli at the touch launching pad so that a user can better operate on the touch lodgings . For model , the visual stimuli may be used ( among others ) to alert a user when the touch launch pad is register a touch , alert a drug user where the sense of touch is happen on the touch lodgings , offer feedback related to the touch issue , indicate the state of the tactile sensation pad , and/or the like .
Hopefully we ’ll actually see these idea put to good use , rather than just a patent blocking others from using it . [ US Patent OfficeviaAppleInsider ]
