New Technology Helps Revolutionize Touchscreen
GHOST is the brainchild of four universities in the UK, Netherlands and Denmark. Launched in 2013, the EU supported projects and could have a major impact on future devices.
The project envisions a future where humans can use your finger to drag the object, or the data off the hard screen and then control it while it is suspended in the air.
Your fingers will feel the data as an object when you control objects "ghosts" in the air.
The team has achieved a number of breakthroughs. The researchers worked on the screen can automatically change shape, a way to separate the stuff on the screen into the air and creates so-called "ghost" that you can touch and feel ring.
How To Get Data Out of The Screen?
According to the researchers, GHOST can be done thanks to advances in screen technology deformable and suspended by ultrasonic waves. After pulling out of the digital world of 2D, 3D objects become playable.
Project Coordinator GHOST and the University of Copenhagen Professor Kasper Hornbæk explained in a statement that: "It is not only changing the shape of the screen, which includes a digital object that you want to control, maybe even in midair. ""For example, through technology by hovering ultrasound, we can slide the display out of the flat. And thanks to the screen can be deformed, we can poke your finger into it ".
How Can Feel GHOST?
Users will be able to handle the objects and data in a completely new style. For example, according to the researchers, a brain surgeon can use GHOST to create a virtual version of the brain that he or she can touch and study before surgery.
GHOST Researchers also are studying the sponges and pads as the interface software can deform that a musician can be bent to adjust the speed, timbre, and more.
Although still in its infancy, research on GHOST has brought some samples first quite interesting.
For example, samples 'Emerge' allows users to use their fingers to pull data out of the bar graph display. After pulling off the screen, the data can be manipulated by hand into different patterns. It can also be individually separated out in rows and columns.
One other form is 'Morphemes', use the mobile device flexibility built with the display surface with Lycra or alloy. These can bend, stretch and change shape automatically. If users need to enter credit card details or social security number while in public areas, the screen can automatically bend help shield your fingers to other people can not find items your personal data.
Potential users of the technology are enormous GHOST. For example, if a user wants to watch a movie on a larger screen, the device technologies can grow into a bigger size and then shrink back when the film ends.
Professor Hornback noted that "The display changes shape when you're using them would probably just have to 5 years from now". "If you want your smartphone will feature a topographic landscape of 20 or 30 cm away from the screen, it is more than a little far-fetched - but we are working on it".
