ScienceDaily (Mar. 31, 2010) — The cellphone is switched off but immediately springs into action at the point of a finger. It is not necessary to touch the display. This touchless control is made possible by a polymer sensor affixed to the cellphone which, like human skin, reacts to the tiniest fluctuations in temperature and differences in pressure and recognizes the finger as it approaches.
The sensor recognizes the finger's heat signal without being touched. (Credit: Copyright image/Joanneum Research Forschungsgesellschaft mbH)
