Give it another month at most, I'd say, and if there's no more information, then forget it. I'm not that thrilled by it, but it'd be interesting to see how it works, if it does. I already know approximately how all the other new touch technologies work, so something new is mildly interesting to me. The first thing I thought was “fake,” but time will tell.

Weird eh? Also, I don't think the time response of this would make it useful beyond a fancy youtube proof of concept video.

I would assume this would be something like that YouTube video that Writhen mentioned...but that requires a clean view from behind and some custom software running in the background...and nothing like that circuit board sitting there on the table. The guy is incredibly cryptic on his YouTube page. He should throw together a website, instead of keeping his stuff secret...unless he plans to make lots of money off it. Stuff like this should be open source, like all the various methods of constructing multi-touch screens that are out there. …I’m confused.
