CMU Researchers Create Multitouch Surface Anywhere

tekgoblin writes "In a joint effort between Microsoft and the Carnegie Mellon Human Computer Interaction Institute, a new interface has been born. The new interface is usable on any surface, including notebooks, tables, walls and body parts. The UI is completely multitouch and worn on the shoulder, which will turn any surface you are pointing at into a usable workspace by the combination of a projector and a 3D modeling device similar to the Kinect."

The idea is that you could have a touch panel on the back of your phone (or whatever) that could respond to gestures while it's still in your pocket.
