This video shows LucidTouch, a mobile device that is "pseudo transparent", i.e., it allows users to see their fingers through the screen. Users interact with screen contents using multiple fingers on the back of the device. LucidTouch solves a problem traditional touchscreens are facing: it prevents the user's fingers from occluding screen contents.

  • Maybe I can clarify something, this is a prototype. The narrator outlines the problems that this technology could solve at the begining of the video and how it could be improved in the future. Rather then sit on his/her ass and bash other people's inventions they've proposed a solution. Before you call something "obsolete" and "retarded" perhaps you should listen and watch instead of making an ass of yourselves.

  • I can only think of goatse when I see this.

  • Peice of crap no need for the touch screen at the back

  • boored :P

  • @exponentialevil this is obsolete and retarded

  • THE ROBOT APOCALYPSE IS NIGH

  • that is kinda stupid idea.. its easier to use two transparent touchscreens witch shows the real transparency. this trick with a camera just sends the picture of back of your hands and displays it on back screen.will never work as shown in video..

  • although the idea was good, it does not seem to stand a chance in practice, even if they get rid of the cam and sluggishness.

    it's just uncomfortable to hold a device like that and hard to use because the brain is used to see the actual fingers.

  • this looks stupid. i think this will be just as successful as that nintendo virtual boy

  • Grippity does the same with just a transparent gap between the the keys.
