TouchLight
TouchLight From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaTouchLight is an imaging touch screen and 3D display for gesture-based interaction. It was developed by
Microsoft Research employee Andrew D. Wilson and made known to the public in late 2005. The technology was licensed to
Eon Reality in July of 2006.
AbilitiesThe
TouchLight can both record and project simultaneously, and due to its 3D capabilities can be used almost as a mirror. This same principle could be applied to link two
TouchLights together allowing two people anywhere in the world to communicate with each other as if they were sitting on opposite sides of the same desk. It can capture a high definition image of anything placed up against the screen. This image is then displayed in 2D. The user of the
TouchLight can manipulate the size, position and orientation of the image by performing the corresponding action with his or her hands. The screen has a microphone built in that can detect vibration, thus allowing the user to change setting simply by tapping the screen.
CostAt present the high end product costs upwards of $60,000, however
Eon Reality predicts that within 24 to 36 months the technology will be affordable enough for desktops.
