The Portuguese company Displax has unveiled a 'skin' that will be able to make any surface interactive. This 'skin' is a polymer film that's claimed to be thinner-than-paper. There are a grid of nanowires running through the film that detect touch interactivity and relay this data to a microprocessor. The film is 98% transparent, almost invisible, and the largest screen 50" can detect up to seventeen touches simultaneously. The 'skin' can also detect air movement and will be one of the touch sensitive technologies with that capability. With the possibility of any surface transforming into an interactive screen, our landscape will morph into a more digital reality. Get ready for Displax's multi-touch 'skin' to hit the market later this year.
