A product that will turn any flat surface into a touch screen

UK-based company Light Blue Optics (LBO) has unveiled a revolutionary compact projector that lets users interact with images that are projected onto any flat surface.

Turn Flat Surfaces Into A Touch Screen

Light Touch has Holographic Laser Projection (HLP) technology inside that creates video images in WVGA resolution. Integrated infrared sensors detect motion and turn the projected image into a 10.1-inch virtual touch screen, so the user can control the projector and interact with applications simply by touching the image.

Light Touch™ is an interactive projector that instantly transforms any flat surface into a touch screen. It frees multimedia content from the confines of the small screen, allowing users to interact with that content just as they do on their hand held devices – using multi-touch technology.
