I see you're drinking 1%. Is that because you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

Hmm, I'm not really freaking too much on it.  If you have to paint a copper based paint on a rock to make it a touch screen and you have to hook up said electric current to the rock, it's not really different than what it was before these guys made their software discovery.

To me, the impressive thing is the AI they built into their program to reliably determine what is touching and when it is touching said surface.  So this isn't really about making anything a touch screen but is more about making touchscreens billions of times more accurate and dependable.

1% is not good for you.  Actually milk is not good for you at all.  Full Stop.

That said I like whipped cream.  ;D

I think it's both.  The fact that they can interpret multiple levels of signal strength from conductive objects such as metal door knobs using only a single conductive lead is pretty amazeballs.  So basically, clear conductive glass with a single lead is now able to take the place of the current clumbsy touch screen tech.  Its a software solution for a hardware interface.  The military applications alone make my head spin, imagine a night sight that only turns on when it senses it's being looked through (and not the clumbsy pressure switches of the current sights).  Imagine a radio traffic being controlled by touching rifle's upper receiver in a cetain manner.  This stuff is amazing.

Yeah, the guy was using his own body as a touch surface, and as far as I could tell they didn't first spray him with copper paint.
