ZeroTouch, a touchscreen monitor without the screen
The design seems so simple that it’s almost surprising we haven’t seen something like this until now. ZeroTouch is basically an empty window pane, and the LEDs and IR sensors mounted around its edges detect anything that crosses the plane of that frame (it can recognize up to 20 independent touch points at a time). It doesn’t just register that something is there, but also the size of the object — whether it’s a finger, an entire hand, a tiny stylus, etc. — and whether it is rotating or twisting.
I’ve got something to post that shows a brainwave and thought controlled computer interface, but one thing at a time, right?

Night before last I dreamed I could move potatoes using only my mind.
With [Insert Dramatic Chipmunk] — your mind!
Oh, man, I am going to have to go back tonight and edit that dream.
