Abstract

Multi-touch input has been an active area of research for over two decades but has always suffered from the absence of an easily available high quality touch input device. For this reason, exciting user interfaces developed in the lab have appeared on CNN, but not on everyone's desk, computer screens, table-tops, walls and floors. What has been needed - and lacking - is a better mousetrap; an inexpensive, flexible and sensitive touch imaging technology.

The UnMousePad: an interpolating multi-touch force-sensing input pad
SIGGRAPH '09: ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 papers

Recently, there has been great interest in multi-touch interfaces. Such devices have taken the form of camera-based systems such as Microsoft Surface [de los Reyes et al. 2007] and Perceptive Pixel's FTIR Display [Han 2005] as well as hand-held devices ...
