Miracle Film Turns Any Surface into a Touchscreen
Summary
You could place Skin on any surface, transparent or opaque, flat or curved, and use it to display any interactive content you like. This unique hardware operates via a grid of nanowires embedded Skins polymer film. Each time a user makes contact with the surface, either by blowing on it or directly touching it, "a small electrical disturbance is detected allowing the micro-processor controller to pinpoint the movement or direction of the air flow," according to Displax. We can imagine millions of cool use cases for such a technology — business presentations, medicine, museums, schools, and gaming to start. The possibilities are as endless as our collective and ever-growing want and need to interact with digital content through multi-touch interfaces.
