Prototype - A touch screen watch

Case first entered the touch screen market in 1991 with their data bank watch.

1991: Databank with touch screen

Simply point to the function you wish to use and touch the screen. The display enables access to a telephone book, an organizer,a notepad or an 8 digit calculator.

The idea was to have a large touch sensitive display that you could interact with. There was no need for external buttons, everything was done with 'soft buttons'.

I have devised a similar idea for our first prototype, but using more upto date technology. There is a full colour screen, which is capable of drawing complex objects and shapes. The onboard computer is able to process a number of different tasks, including inputs from sensors and an external base station.
