Oooh… 2 Sided Touch Screen

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Researchers at Microsoft and Mitsubishi are developing a new touch-screen system that lets people type text, click hyperlinks, and navigate maps from both the front and back of a portable device. A semitransparent image of the fingers touching the back of the device is superimposed on the front so that users can see what they’re touching.

Touch Screen

I must admit, if Microsoft released a good looking phone, with a two sided touchscreen, including flawless software, it would be a good competitior for the iPhone. What else could be used with a two sided touch screen? :) Hmm… maybe some sort of eBook reader… or maybe not. Either way, it’s cool!
