How will we play games in the future?
Aren’t you tired of gaming in the same fashion, pointing the mouse, keeping your left hand on WASD combination and looking concentrated at the screen. Wouldn’t it be nice to control everything in a more natural way? Well, what do you say about Starcraft on a touchscreen monitor.
The next video shows how it can be done in Linux. Pretty amazing. I hope someone tries to bring this idea to masses.
Touchscreen monitors will surely be a thing of the future, but I hope that a more advanced input method to be discovered, as moving your hands over the screen for a mere 5 minutes will surely kill your muscles.
Till we get this technology, I think it’s good to take a look at current best gaming hardware available on market: best gaming keyboards for gamers and list of gaming mices that will make you shoot better in FPS games.

I think it would make my arm ache after a while.
Yea, but it’s just for fun. You can’t play Starcraft competitive like this, unless your Flash or something :)
WOW, looks great!!
Was that a song from the sims?
Would work far far better if it were a multi-touch display. As is, you’d have to be very careful to only be making contact at one point at a time.
I love how the article complains about aches… As if geeks don’t have good forearm from wanking (they’re not getting laid, that’s for sure). Besides, doing something like moving your arms around, is called exercise!
I’m not sure about the song, but i’m looking for its name right now. I’ll post an update as soon as i found something…
I have a very strong right forearm.
We want it!
