Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Touch screen on the palm

Researchers have been working for several years to expand the areas that can be used for multitouch panels, and the OmniTouch project, which is being implemented at Carnegie Mellon University, could put this idea into practice. OmniTouch turns body parts and surrounding areas into a touch-sensitive interface.

In this way, users have the opportunity to read and reply to an e-mail message by touching their palm or an adjacent wall, or they can even use multiple applications simultaneously on different surfaces.

The OmniTouch system includes a high-sensitivity camera and a laser-based pico-projector. Using technology similar to Microsoft Kinect, OmniTouch begins by generating a basic map of the site by isolating the fingers from the corresponding touch-sensitive surfaces, including the hand, forearm, or wall.

How do you like OmniTouch? Would you like one like this? :)
