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.

PaperPhone is the world's first nextgen, thin film smartphone and interactive paper computer.

Thinfilm sensors allow the phone to respond to bending of the screen to navigate pages in ebooks, play or pause mp3s, make phone calls, or navigate apps. A flexible wacom tablet allows users to draw on the screen with a pen as if it were a sheet of paper.
