ThinSight: A new interaction technology for ubicomp

We present a novel technology suitable for situated displays, called ThinSight. It combines up close zero-force multi-touch interaction, with inte- raction and data exchange from a distance using a mobile device. The novelty of ThinSight lies both in the combination of these features and in the thin form- factor of the hardware which can be fully integrated into commercially available LCDs without affecting display quality. This readily deployable situated display technology opens up many new ubiquitous computing possibilities.
