Firm develops two-sided touchscreen
Developers from Japanese firm Teraokaseiko today demonstrated one of the few examples of a touchscreen where both sides of the surface are controllable. The screen mounts two resistive (pressure-driven) touchscreens on either side of a transparent display, allowing users on either end to control events onscreen while seeing actions on the other side.Development is still early for the display, which has just monochrome 256×120 output. However, Teraokaseiko does ultimately anticipate production hardware using the double-sided technique in the future. Apple has recently had a patent filing published which illustrates a two-sided iPhone clamshell the company may eventually develop.
