You can do it on the table, the hood of a car..even on the ceiling!!


Alright get your mind out of the gutter and into the future! In this case the future is a few months away, and it looks VERY cool. DISPLAX™
Multitouch Technology turns any non-conductive material into an interactive multitouch surface. Based on projected capacitive technology, DISPLAX™ Multitouch Technology has been developed on a transparent thinner-than-paper polymer film which can be applied to a variety of flat and curved surfaces including glass, plastic and wood. Imagine interactive wallpaper, surfing the web or checking recipes on your counter top..the possibilities are endless. The technology works by a grid of nanowires placed throughout the film recognizing touch screen interactivity. These input signals are then passed to a microprocessor controller that analyzes the data and determines the exact location where the contact took place.


The hypersensitive lightweight “skin” features air movement detection as well as touch sensitivity, so will, for what is thought to be the first time, react to a user blowing on it, registering both the intensity and direction of the air flow.
