Panasonic Corporation introduced an innovative touch panel, which can be operated by touching images floating in mid-air, at an exhibition held recently in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan, targeting information systems-related companies.The touch panel operable in mid-air employs a mechanism wherein an image is reflected by a special glass. As the user stands in front of the glass, the image can be seen in front as though it is floating in mid-air. When the user touches the image in mid-air, the time of flight (TOF) sensor detects it and enables operation as an ordinary touch panel.
