Guess Microsoft isn't content with its Surface multitouch computing system and have decided to introduce a vertically-oriented upgrade known as the TouchWall. According to Microsoft's Research and Office Labs department, a prototype for such technology is under development and will ultimately see action in board rooms as well as situations where interactive presentations will do a much better job of getting the corporate point across. TouchWall technology will use integrated hardware that consists of laser and infrared lights, picking up touches to the display courtesy of the embedded Plex software. Guess those with anger management issues had best find other places to punch, since the next time you let loose, your fist might end up in a TouchWall instead, costing three years' worth of wages to pay back.
