In the not-too-distant future, you will be able to talk to the hand! A new technology is being created jointly by Microsoft and the Carnegie Mellon Human Computer Interaction Institute that will enable interfaces to be displayed on any surface, including notebooks, body parts, and tables.
The UI (User Interface) is completely multitouch and the “shoulder-worn” system will locate the surface you’re working on in 3D space, ensuring the UI is always accessible. It uses a picoprojector and a 3D scanner similar to the Kinect.
The product is called OmniTouch and it supports “clicking” with a finger on any surface as well as controls that sense finger position while hovering a hand over a surface. So far the researchers have tested drawing and “crosshair” interaction with the system and it has worked well on arms, hands, notebooks, and tables.
