CMU touch screen with inflatable buttons

CMU touch screen with inflatable buttonsSome people like touchscreens, some not so much. Well, very soon we may just be able to please everybody thanks to this CMU touch screen technology. It sports temporary buttons that pop out(up?) and inflate when you need them. When you don’t they deflate and you once again have a flat surface.

So, very soon everyone can be happy using the same device. For instance, how about a switch that will help users toggle between a button mode and a full touch mode? This may be in your future phone.

Think about the possibilities for the blind if you add a braille twist. The inflatable surface is made of latex, so it will feel nice and can be manipulated quite a bit.
