New touch screen technology for Windows 7
Posted by Al in Windows 7 News on 12 13th, 2008 | 3 responses |
Microsoft continues its WinHEC tour in Taiwan, where we find something new again. Quanta Computer recently showcased new touch-screen technology called Optical Touch. Unlike conventional touch-screen options, movements and positions are recognized through two cameras located near the top corners of the screen. Multi-touch gestures are supported as well. Quanta says using such a setup would be significantly cheaper than traditional touch-screen setups. But this only applies for smaller panels, since they no longer become cost-effective as the panels get larger. Mass production is to start soon, and is expected to be released sometime near Windows 7′s debut.

What would be more interesting (to me) is if somebody came up with a simple camera-based solution to touch-enable *any* LCD screen by attaching the cameras to the border…
thats basically what its doing, it should work on any laptop with the proper camera setup
Enjoyed your examination of this fascinating issue. Bookmarked and will check back for more good reading. Tata
