Korean researchers have created a transparent, 2-sided touchscreen

Touchscreens have typically been a one-sided affair. Most of the interaction is done from one side of the screen, usually with the one facing you. This means sense as the display and the other components are found on the underside, so it wouldn’t make sense for the user to interact from the other side of the touchscreen, right? Well thanks to a team of researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, they have come up with a touchscreen display called Transwall that allows the user to interact with both sides of the display. In fact given that it can be used on both sides, it would also open up the display to be used by more than one person, thus fostering collaboration.
