Microsoft Research shows off "Pen + Touch" input (VIDEO)
Sure, we've seen plenty of multi-touch implementations on the Microsoft Surface and other Microsoft projects (read Courier), but this one breathes new life into the already creative world of multi-touch. While pen and touch each offer their own powerful capabilities, the combination of two presents endless possibilities. Microsoft is calling it "Manual Deskterity"--an obvious pun on "manual dexterity."
In the video below, you will see Microsoft demoing the use of fingers and a pen at the same time. Notice how the Surface is able to distinguish between the two. In the real world, doing both actions together is a no-brainer. Microsoft is aiming to recreate that natural interaction within its software. Such power will enable users to do what was never before possible in a digital world. This concept would work amazingly with Microsoft's upcoming Courier--an obvious choice for such an implementation.
