A recent video by Michael MJD showcases a rare find - an iMac G3 prototype from 1999 that not only responds to touchscreen taps and drags but also touch pressure. The prototype, labeled as an "Engineering Prototype" from Elo, a company that was an official "Value Added Reseller" for Apple products, features a touchscreen conversion that was intended for use as a kiosk. Elo's technology used acoustic waves to detect touch input, allowing for X/Y coordinates and even Z-axis depth of pressure to be determined. While the prototype runs on stock MacOS 8.6, it likely would have had custom software with larger touch-friendly buttons if it had been released. The video highlights the unique design and functionality of this early touchscreen iMac G3 prototype, evoking a different era of Apple.
