Touch screens are within reach

Ever seen one of those futuristic movies, like "Avatar" or "Star Trek," with those cool blue colors and touch controls?

Well this technology is already within reach. A company based in Portugal, DisplayX Interactive Systems, has come up with some astounding technology that will make science fiction a reality.

The technology is a paper-thin polymer infused with nano wires that detect anything from a person blowing air onto the surface to tactile touch. Microprocessors then sort out the electrical impulses and pinpoint the movement.

Looks as if the cubicles of tomorrow will be a whole lot cooler. Say goodbye to your mouse.
