10/GUI and Con10uum are concepts by R. Clayton Miller which aim to define how an ideal multi-touch system would work.
10/GUI adapts the touch interface to the proven posture of the mouse. By splitting the touch surface from the screen 10/GUI creates a one to one pad on which all ten fingers can rest as well as interact. A hypered resistive capacitive array detects the fingers positions and detect pressure to register individual finger presses.
Con10uum represents a radical rethinking of the way information and interaction spaces are managed on a flat display. Rather then creating windows at often arbitrary positions on a 2 dimension plane. Con10uum organizes them linearly. New windows arrive from one side, occupy the full height of the screen, and are manipulable through a consistent vocabulary of multi-touch interaction.
