A concept by Microsoft Research, make every surface a touch screen turns any surface in the user’s environment into a touch interface. See video below :
The Wearable Multitouch Interaction prototype capitalize on the tremendous surface area to be wearable, a novel combination of laser-based pico projector and depth-sensing camera.
The camera is an advanced, custom prototype provided by PrimeSense. Once the camera and projector are calibrated to each other, the user can don the system and begin using it.
The Microsoft Research team stresses that, although the prototype is not as small as they would like it to be, there are no significant barriers to miniaturization and that it is entirely possible that a future version of Wearable Multitouch Interaction could be the size of a matchbox and as easy to wear as a pendant or a watch.
