Non-contact Touchpad


Got your hands dirty? No problem with using your laptop's touchpad and not getting it messy. Alps Electric showed its new touchpad with "minute capacitance sensing technology", capable of sensing moving fingers about 3 cm above it. The electric capacity of the hand can be sensed by capacitance sensors in the touchpad. Laptops are only the beginning. Look for it to be used in a wide variety of products.
