Haptix 3d: Multi touch interface on any surface

Amazing how technology is progressing these days. Just a decade ago nobody would have believed that a screen can become touch sensetive and now we can make any surface 'a touch interface' by using this wonderful device called Haptix 3d.

“Haptix is based on completely radical algorithms in computer vision and image processing,” says co-founder Lai Xue.

By using Haptix, any flat surface can be made into a touch interface. Don't want to use your laptop's keyboard? Then dont! Just get a Haptix 3d device and turn your laptop's keyboard touch sensitive. Now you want have to press the keys, just hover your fingers above the keyboard like a magician and type away!

This is what Jennifer Bergen, writer for a famous blog, has to say about Haptix,
 
" Is Haptix a mouse-killer? Ractiv believes so. The team say they haven’t used a mouse “in a while,” and haven’t missed it. Haptix even lets you define different functions for different fingers, so you can set your middle finger as the cursor, your index finger to left clicks, and your ring finger to right click, for example. Haptix works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 8, and Ubuntu (sorry, Mac-users)".

The list goes on and on ...
