Tech Turns Air Into a Multi-Touch Screen : Discovery News - 1 views

  • Researchers created a special empty frame with highly responsive multi-touch capacity.
  • Touch-sensitive frames have enabled surfaces to become interactive for years, but their size and responsiveness tend to be limited.
  • The 28-inch ZeroTouch frame with scalloped edges can detect whatever moves around inside it. Fingertips, hands, arms, and even inanimate objects pass through an invisible two-dimensional optical web that tracks them. Put ZeroTouch on a computer screen and it turns into an interactive surface that can be manipulated with a stylus.

  • One big advantage to ZeroTouch, the researchers say, is its affordability. The research prototype was made using commercially available sensors usually found in TV remote controls. Moeller said that the frame, which wasn't designed for mass-production, cost about $450 to construct.
  • Moeller pointed out that the technology creates more possibilities for interaction than capacitive interfaces like the glass touch-screens on smart phones and laptops. The technology simply requires the user to break the light beams -- there's no force required to activate the sensor.
