Zero Touch Screen Technology - Now Touch In Air

</strong>Many of us are familiar with the large number of touch-screen technologies which are available in the market. Touchpad, Touch Screen Phones, Multiuser laptops etc, have already made us addicted to the touch screen technology. But a new technology developed by <strong>Texas A&M Interface Ecology Lab allows us to make use of an special empty frame with a highly responsive touch screen capabilities. This facility allows us to make use of our hands, legs, elbows or whatever part of your body to create or write images on the touch surface.

The Zero Touch screen allows us to make use of 256 infrared sensors and 32 LEDs. Each Light blinks at a specific frequency which is read by a sequence of sensors. The Zero Touch screen is extremely responsive. This is because of the fact that each of the LED blinks at the rate of 2400 times per second. The Zero Touch screen is connected to a computer via USB   which also provides power and also collects the Data. The infrared sensors and LED also provides a clear display of each and every object on the screen. The combination of this technology creates a visualization that there is an empty screen of which if we create hand movements there is creation of words and images on the computer screen.

The Zero Touch Screen Technology has many advantages. It can be used by Surgeons to perfect their hand movement and to reduce the risk of any harm to the patient. It is also quite affordable as it is priced around $450 for a prototype. As this product goes for mass production it can be priced comfortably around $300. It can also be used as a guide for complicated machinery. The Technology can also be used by military personals also to improve their skills. This technology was given a presentation in ACM CHI conference in Vancouver. This system was suspended by frame in mid air which was used to create strokes and beautiful brushes in air.

The technology is 2 dimensional but it can be further developed into 3 dimensional technologies. The Technology has the advantage that it can provide a platform to other companies like Microsoft which are now facing tough competition from Apple. The Techs are developing new technologies every day but its up to top end industries to identify them and develop this technologies.
