Force-sensing touchpad to reach ultrabooks next year

Projects on show at the UIST conference make creative use of a new, pressure-sensitive touchpad from Synaptics

By , IDG News Service |  Hardware

The company showed the touchpad integrated into a prototype Lenovo ultrabook, but for most of the demonstrations at UIST, the touchpad connected to the laptops via USB.

The demonstration projects themselves, such as the puppet, are at the research stage and there are no immediate plans to commercialize them.
