Light Touch from UK based Light Blue Optics showed off at CES 2010 its emerging technology. A relatively unknown company develops a pico-projector such that the display responds to human touch. Prop it to project on any flat surface, viola, you have the conventional touchscreen on your fingertips.
So how does this compare with Microsoft Surface? Just think of portability, now that is a game-changer! Though as of last hands-on tests at CES, this is not capable of multitouch yet.
"As for the Light Touch unit itself, its coming equipped with 2GB of flash memory along with a microSD slot. It’s capable of running Adobe Flash, and has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s running Windows CE and Light Blue Optics demoed off various apps at CES, including a twitter app." - nexus404.com
