Nifty, although I can't write on vertical surfaces for shit.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
I wouldn't think touch-screens would be good for FPS imo.. I tried it with my graphics pad once... Wasn't a good ending.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
Same here Phantom.
What sizes do these things come in, I'm tempted for Photoshop :p.

Yeah I know a graphics tablet would be rubbish, I tried it once and it was EXTREMELY sensitive. My point was that with a touch screen you could basically just poke people on the screen and not have to worry about aiming.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
:o good point! I never thought of that. You'd get done for hacking though, wouldn't you?
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
poking the screen wuld work at a longer range or when u had time but when summet jumps out in front of you and u stab the screen an put a hole in it..not so good.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
Imagine if you were spectating somebody using a touch screen, it would SO look like they were using an aimbot. Also, wouldn't you fire a few shots whenever you wanted to turn around?
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
I was thinking about the first problem, and I agree tbh, but I'm sure you could explain ;D
Second one is a good point, but you still have a mouse, don't you?
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
Touch screens work much like Smart Boards used in schools AFAIK, so u touch to click and hover over to move the mouse.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
Much like a graphics pad. But Would the screen thing work at a short range?
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
Ive used 1 before, they do work the same as smartboards, but cant detect hover. For an fps they can be very good for sniping, coz u just tap the enemy and they die, but ptherwise you have to hold your finer down near the centre and adjest it slightly to turn, but while your doing this you wont stop shooting. there ALOT better for RTS games where you click and drag alot. had hours of C&C Generals and UT GOTY at my old college on the smartboards running off my laptop.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
To be fair these kits have been around for donkeys years but they always have been around £300 for 17", looks very good if thats the retail price and building a screen into the desk would be good.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
I want one of those touch screen monitor desk things they had on that TV program where they had a team trying to win a virtual historic battle. Trigger will know what I mean.
On second thoughts, I don't really want one, I just want that program to come back :D.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
I know that program! Where they were playing ROME: TOTAL WAR? That was some good shit.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
I know what you're on about Phantom, looked pretty fun :p.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
Ah yes, Time Commanders... did any of the players actually ever win a battle on it?
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
I dont think they used touch screens, I think it was just a projector setup and added cgi later.
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
If I get one of these things, (getting back on topic ;D) I'll use it on ATK all the time :P So don't bother kicking me XD
Wont it also look like a no-recoil hack?
Re: The NAVIsis EZ-Canvas.
One thing you guys have seriously forgotten about using this in an FPS situation, is that when you click to fire, you guy will turn and hit them, but will then CARRY ON turning the whole time that you have the pen anywhere near it.
