May 12, 2011 No Comment
The rise of tablets and smartphones has made the touchscreen a rather ubiquitous interface , but they aren’t everywhere quite yet. A group of students from Texas A&M intend to change that, however, with the invention of ZeroTouch: a seemingly empty picture frame that lets you turn any surface into an interactive touchscreen. It might not look like much, but ZeroTouch is packing a series of pulsing LEDs and infrared sensors that turn that blank space into a highly sensitive surface. Basically, the strategically placed LEDs cover the open area in a sheet of invisible light. When a hand or stylus enters the picture (or lack there of), those beams are interrupted, providing cues to a piece of software that tracks the object’s movement — and boom! You’ve got a touchscreen. Of course, this isn’t the sort of thing that’s going to make it to market anytime soon, but you can check out ZeroTouch rocking the rippling water effect in the video below.

The skeptics in us are not ready to call this one confirmed yet, but we are beginning to see information trickle in about a possible launch date for the Droid X2 . Droid-Life uncovered possible promo materials discussing the entrance strategy for the X2 , in conjunction with several of the phone’s specs. These docs strongly indicate May 26 is the magic day for a full-scale assault, with early orders allowed as soon as May 19. We don’t see any major surprises in specs — there’s a dual-core Tegra 2 1GHz processor, 4.3-inch qHD screen, 8MP rear camera, and 1080p HDMI-out video, to list off the highlights — although we are excited to see Gingerbread may be in the mix here, indicated by the ever-so-subtle blue bar seen on the phone’s screen. We hope you can understand our hesitation, though, since an unproven spec sheet from Pocketnow suggests we should only expect Froyo. No way of knowing who will win this little argument, but you know which one we’re rooting for. Check out another leaked image after the break.
