Scientists Discover Way to Make Anything a Touchscreen

[Guest]

there are 2 components here: 1) a projectable surface-independent interface & 2) a shoulder-mounted harness that implements 1).

Number 1 is a potential gamechanger. No 2 is a clunky dead-end, fine for a prototype but a boat-anchor if they try to go to market with it. Otherwise they've just built the Seqway of the interface world.

[citation][nom]das_stig[/nom]Cool, look forward to a terminal interface as used in the original Tron.END OF LINE....[/citation]

Why? There is nothing to it... and it only looked cool for early 80s standards.
overall, its just a CLI with speech, hardly HIGH-TECH by 2011 standards.
