Wouldn’t be cool if you could turn any surface into a multitouch display? Portuguese company Displax says it’s not only possible, it’s plausible and practical.
The company says it is bringing to market a multitouch capable, super-thin polymer “skin” that can be applied to any material — flat, curved, opaque, transparent, you name it — creating a digital muli-touch surface virtually anywhere, from a wristband to a desktop to a pane of clear glass.
Displax claims their skins will work on large surfaces, even up to 50 inches and larger, tracking 16 fingers or get this, breaths at once. That’s right, the surface also reacts to breath.
