[Thinktank][Sola] Floating Touch - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Today i just visited this website http://bestboyz.de/ with my xperia sola and i recognized that i was able to control the i think javascript based 3d tag list using floating touch. ( see screenshot).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That made me think about what floating touch could be used for, like gestures, system control, gaming.... Its very sad that it acutally only works in the browser and in cosmic flow so we need some talented devs to make some more use of floating touch! Maybe sony will surprise us with some more things in ics but i dont think so. What are your thoughts?

I own no floating touchy device but it sounds innovative hope its put into more use so disabled people can use phones

It seems kind of restrictive because only the Xperia sola has that capacity.
A little example could be using it to dismiss notifications. The functionality of swiping to dismiss stuff is ready, and it could get a cool touch (pun intended) in the sola, à la Minority Report, if you can dismiss apps and notifications without even touching the phone.

Some days ago I asked if there was any app which uses floating touch, but as you said, hope that sony make something about this and give us something usefull

Today i tried weather it works in adobe flash inside the browser but sadly it doesnt.

In prototype, which i test, floating touch was working in whole menu, you can unlock phone, write messages etc... . We will see, if this will be enabled in ICS

Wow cool. I think there should be an option to enable or disable that. Would be awesome.

[Mod]Enabling Floating Touch Completely in Sola.

Wide adoption is required to generate development interest. I hope sony includes this tech in more of their devices

I just found it that floating touch on cosmic flow while using another launcher it doesn't work, I'm using 360 launcher.

I think Samsung note2 also has floating touch.
