Thin Film Turns Any Surface Into a Touchscreen
- gte910h 17y agoInaccurate title: Thin Bendable transparent film allows input over any surface. All a touch screen is a piece of touch glass over a screen.... Touch glass already exists, the newsworthy bit is that it is bendable.
- sparky 17y agoInaccurate pedantry: Imprecise title: Thin Bendable transparent film allows input over any surface. </tongue in cheek>
- gte910h 17y agoWhile it is also imprecise, the fact that the film is only an input surface means it's also inaccurate. To make a touchscreen, you must have a screen. </since you went there :Op> I was commenting on both the inaccurate nature of the title as well as the fact it does not point out the newsworthy, new tech part that HN readers likely give a crap about.
- sparky 17y agoTouche, sir :)
- wooster 17y agoThat is pretty cool. Article titles should start distinguishing between touchscreen and multi-touch screens, however. The usability of multi-touch input is, IMO, much better than that of single-touch input (essentially just mouse emulation), so the differentiation between the two is important. For me, it's the difference between me caring and not caring.
