DISPLAX Skin Dualtouch turns surfaces into multitouch devices

DISPLAX Interactive Systems announced today the launch of its star product: Skin Dualtouch. It is basically a new version of its Skin Multitouch, except that this one allows 2 touches to be detected simultaneously. It is a “transparent and flexible thinner-than-paper polymer foil that, when applied to glass, plastic of wood, turns the surface interactive.” A grid of nanowires embedded in the foil acts as the patent-pending controller that processes multiple input signals.

DISPLAX’s Skin Dualtouch foil will allow many different materials to function as multitouch devices, and can even enable zero bezel designs. No word on which companies will be using DISPLAX’s technology in their products but it is already shipping worldwide now (except in the US). Find out more at DISPLAX’s website.
