ROLI Ltd. - ShellPOC (Shell Proof of Concept)

该项目将试图证明移动计算设备(MCD)的‘壳’接口平台的技术可行性和设计理念。通过Seboard Grand，罗利证明了市场对高分辨率、高带宽人机界面的需求，这些界面利用了我们行业领先的设计方法和技术。MCD的处理速度和效率在每次发布时都有所提高，但它们的触摸输入界面无法与这种创新步伐相匹配，这一点非常重要，因为界面定义了我们与它们的实时交互体验。随着MCD现在占我们计算时间的比例越来越大，这一领域取得突破的潜在好处正变得越来越大，变得越来越重要。然而，自从电容式触摸屏饱和以来，创新就被扼杀了。虽然在工程和设计方面是一个前所未有的挑战，但增加MCDs的承受能力可以让用户的生活更舒适、更有生产力和更有表现力，这也是Roli希望通过壳牌平台实现的。我们寻求进一步推动我们的SEA接口技术的边界，并使其适用于MCDs，这将需要许多创新才能成功，以满足移动计算的形式限制和成本要求。这项工作的结果可能会对这家英国公司产生深远影响，也会对全球移动计算行业产生深远影响。

This project will seek to prove the technical feasibility and design concepts of the ‘Shell’interface platform for mobile computing devices (MCDs). Through the Seaboard GRAND,ROLI has proved a market need for high resolution, high bandwidth human computerinterfaces that make use of our industry-leading design approach and technology. MCDs haveincreased in processing speed and efficiency with every release, but their touch inputinterfaces have not matched this pace of innovation, which is significant because the interfacedefines our lived interaction experience with them. As MCDs now make up an increasinglylarge percentage of our computing time, the potential benefits of a breakthrough in this areaare growing larger and becoming more important. However, innovation has stifled since thematuration of capacitive touch screens. Although an unprecedented challenge of engineeringand design, increasing the affordance of MCDs can make users’ lives more comfortable,productive and expressive, and this is what ROLI wants to achieve with the Shell platform.We seek to further push the boundaries of our SEA Interface technology and adapt it forMCDs, which will require a number of innovations to be successful, in order to satisfy theformal constraints and cost requirements of mobile computing. The results of this work couldhave a profound impact on this UK company, but also the mobile computing industryglobally.
