ID-75
Touchscreen LCD |
|
The
ID-75 is a touchscreen LCD from http://www.massworks.com/. You
can design layouts and create macros that send keystrokes to the
computer. This means that you can use it to control ANY software
on your computer from the touchscreen. I just completed my first
layout, which you can download on the page. I think any trekkie
would appreciate it. Click to enlarge the screenshots below: |

The PowerDVD Control
Panel

The
main page has a button for each of the most often used programs
on my PC. On the left side of every layout are the two big buttons,
"Switch Window", and "Close Window". "Switch Window" is equivalent
to Alt+Tab, which I use all of the time. "Close Window" is equivalent
to Alt+F4 which is really neat when I'm turning off my computer.
I just press it over and over until all windows are closed. If everything's
closed and you press it once more, the Shutdown window comes up.
Pretty neat. |

When
you press the Winamp button, Winamp magically opens. The menu changes
to the Winamp Control Panel and I can choose songs or do whatever
I need. When I'm done, I press "Menu", and I go back to the main
page. The "Menu" macro also does a Alt+tab so that it automatically
switches to whatever I'm working on. If I want to get back to the
winamp page, I just hit "Winamp" again and the focus changes to
it and the layout goes to the "Winamp Control Panel". |

The
DVD page just controls PowerDVD. It's almost identical to the Winamp
layout. |
|
Everytime
you hit a button, it makes the button sound all of you trekkies
are used to hearing...well almost. It's the doorbell jingle, but
it sounded better than the normal button sound effects. The zip
file on the download page has all of the layouts, fonts, bmps, sounds,
and original photoshop files. It'll take you a little while to get
it all organized, and you'll most likely need to redo the main page
to suit your needs. Enjoy! |
