According to reports, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) researchers are developing OmniTouch, a new, wearable system that can turn any surface, even a user’s own hand, into an interactive multitouch input device.OmniTouch will combine a pico laser projector, which will project the touch screen onto a nearby surface or body part, with a camera that can track finger movements, which will allow people to type, write notes, draw, or even navigate between different apps simply by tapping and dragging on the surface that the touchpad it projected upon.“The device consists of a “multitouch capacitive sensor mounted on the back of a smartphone” and uses “the capacitive sensors to enable eyes-free multitouch input on the device through fabric, giving users the convenience of a rich set of gesture interactions, ranging from simple touch strokes to full alphanumeric text entry, without having to remove the device from a pocket or bag”.
So if you want to use your hand to run applications, just hold it out and the proper buttons will appear. Forget about a tablet PC, all you need is just a paper tablet!
What I really like is how the user can just go to a nearby wall if they want to see an email. He or she can even finger paint on the wall, using their hand as a palette. Yes, the hand can be used as an interim interface, like when you want to project your display on your desk, for example.
Considering that we didn’t have a lot of the devices that we have now ten years ago (heck, we haven’t even had iPhones for half a decade), one has to wonder where we are going with mobile technology. I can’t help but think that this could be the future, if this shoulder-mounted device was a little bit smaller and less protruding. If it was the size of a button, I’ll bet people would be more open to it.

This is looking te awesome technology of Microsoft. That is absolutely phenomenal!!! I am not sure what to think (if we all these things strapped to our shoulders) we'd all look like a bunch of crazy Cool concepts though. This has so much potential- Nice Job Microsoft!!
