The conductive spray paint is called Electrick. As reported by the MIT Technology Review, it was developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University who sought to let regular objects act as ...

The responsiveness of touchscreens makes them exceptionally useful—whether it's at airport check-ins or for fast food restaurant orders—but most can only be found on flat surfaces made of glass. A new ...

Touchscreen smartphones and tablets are so intuitive that even babies can easily learn how to use them. So why can’t any object work like a touchscreen? Everything from guitars to Jell-O might soon be ...

Researchers have developed a spray that can turn almost any surface into a touchpad. The technology, called Electrick, works by applying an electrically conductive coating to objects or surfaces. The ...

Touch sensing is most common on small, flat surfaces such as smartphone or tablet screens. Researchers however, can turn surfaces of a wide variety of shapes and sizes into touchpads using tools as ...

Scientists have developed a new technology that can turn any surface – including walls, furniture and steering wheels – into a touch screen using tools as simple as a can of spray paint. The “trick” ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have designed a new touch sensing technology dubbed Electrick. Using conductive spray paint, a few electrodes, and a computer system trained in the ...

Nowadays we're accustomed to the slick glass touchscreens on our phones and tablets, but what if we could extend such luxury to other parts of our devices -- or to any surface, for that matter -- in a ...

It’s a touchpad in a spray can. Spray the conductive paint on almost any surface and, with the aid of just a few simple electronics, you can make everything from walls to steering wheels interactive. ...

An algorithm can read finger presses on a conductive surface An algorithm can read finger presses on a conductive surface The world is full of touchscreens these days, but most of them are on flat, ...
