Might be slightly off topic this.. and quite possibly something many
of you are already aware of but anyway, I came across and thought it
may be useful to share!
"This is not extremely new technology, but not a lot of people know
about it and it has evolved quite nicely in recent years. Sensitive
Object is a French company that sepecializes in the use of microphones
to detect touches anywhere on an arbitrary objects. With multiple mics
they can determine the location of touches or even dragging (as well
as multiple dragging touches - not shown in the video below). "....
"You could turn a cardboard box, a basketball, your car, or even your
friend's head into a touch sensitive surface (if it's hard enough).
Though, larger objects may only be "bang sensitive" surfaces."
