Light Touch Projection Can Potentially Convert Any Surface Into A Touchscreen

Using a compact projector as the main unit, UK based company Light Blue Optics (LBO) has developed a system that can transform virtually any flat surface into a touchscreen unit. The system uses holographic laser projection technology to convert the simple projected display into an interactive one. Infra-red touch sensors detect the user's finger movement, and respond in a way similar to touchscreens. It puts up a 10-inch display and includes built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the projector itself runs Adobe Flash Lite 3.1. The system was unveiled at CES, and there's no word on pricing or availability.
