Touch Screen TV

A research and development team in Taiwan has developed the technology that can convert your television in to a touch screen device. The possibilities are endless, as turning a plain display in to a multi-touch device is no mean feat. The device consists of two sensors, one on the top corner and the other at the bottom corner. The sensors can detect the movement of the fingers on the screen, thereby allowing the user to interact with the display just like a touch screen device. It can also detect multi- touch gesture and hence zoom is also possible. I can see this being especially useful in the office environment where a touch screen would be helpful for presentations etc, but the cost of a fully fledged touch screen is just not justifiable.
