3D Touchpad responds to your hand without having to touch it

The days of Minority Report-like technology seem closer and closer everyday. With the popularity increasing on touch screens and touch based interfaces, the Ukraine made 3D Touchpad is a step ahead of the crowd.

It’s not even really a touchpad at all technically. You don’t have to touch the thing to make it work. The touchpad can sense movements above the pad area, without any real physical contact. Great for those OCD germ weirdos who hate touching things they’re unfamiliar with.

The 3D touchpad can be kept below the computers keyboard, so the pad won’t take up any extra room to clutter your desk. The Ukraine inventors have high hopes for the 3D touchpad, expecting them to eventually be on every computer. Now that, my friends, would be revolutionary.
