Sony Xperia sola "floating touch" magic explained

Self capacitance "ghosting" (the red crosses) occurs when you place two fingers on the screen. The phone can't determine the exact position of the fingers and instead detects four instead of two contact points. |

Why don't you watch the video? It's just how a mouse works. You hover over the screen and it highlights what you're over so then you can click what you want and not something by mistake. That will make precise clicking a hundred times easier. I think it's an awesome feature. Just figure out how to incorporate multitouch and it would be perfect.

This is very practical, and probably is what is being implemented in their Wet Tracking technology...
Sony rugged phones covered in water can be still touch and respond...
Try that on an iphone or any other phone for that matter...

They need to combine these into a single superphone.

REALLY NOT PRACTICAL FOR DAILY USE... -_-
its more comfortable to touch the screen in navigating... -_-

did you watch the video? its not for navigating. its for precise touching on certain sports that are clogged with buttons on the screen. That is very useful especially when browsing

isnt touching the screen for also navigating?..
thats my opinion and if you dont like it just ignore...

I think this has some promise as long as they don't use it for any major controls, it'd be fine for hovering over links.
Also, my Nexus S detect my finger when I hover 1 or half mm above the screen.
