Multitouch devices can be made paper thin

BOFFINS have developed an inexpensive pressure-sensitive pad that creates images of objects that are in contact with it. It means that Inexpensive Multi-touch Pressure Acquisition Devices (IMPAD) can be made paper thin for portable devices. Boffins pressure sensitive touch pad is able to recognize the stress level. It is so sensitive that it can be used for virtual sculpting and painting and for a simulated mouse with left clicks, right clicks, and drags, as well as for musical instruments like a piano keyboard.
