what if you could make anything into a touch screen? Through a partnership with Microsoft, that's exactly what a group of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Interaction Institute have created with a shoulder-mounted device called "OmniTouch."
Using a laser-based pico projector and a short-range depth-sensing camera for taking 3D images, the shoulder-worn device can make a wall, a table, a hand, and many other items into a touch screen. Once the camera and the projector are calibrated together, any surface can be manipulated by touch.

  • People are idots. They'll go for anything that's new and different, even if it's not necessarily better.

  • @AngelStrife89 give it a couple of years, like everything else it'll get smaller like the ipod for example. Someday it might be even small as a bluetooth.

  • Sounds cool but having a camera on your shoudler? That's stupid!

  • I love Microsoft!!!!!:D

  • It's the logical development after requiring your consumers to behave like junkies, right? Check massimogiovanelli's YouTube video 'Skinput' of March 2010, where you can actually see people tapping the vein in their underarm after strapping the biceps... Who needs poppy's from Afghanistan when we have Microsoft?
