Microsoft Shows 'Touch Screen' for Any Surface
Highly flexible, on-demand user interface
Microsoft Research is unveiling technology that turns any surface into a
touch screen at a user interface conference in Santa Barbara,
California. Using a laser-based Pico projector and depth-sensing camera, Microsoft let the user define the area of where they want the interface to be.
The technology combines a laser-based pico projector and depth-sensing camera, the latter not unlike Microsoft's Kinect camera for the Xbox 360. But it is modified to work at short range.
The camera is a prototype provided by PrimeSense. When the camera and projector are calibrated to each other, the user can don the system and begin using it, Microsoft said.
