What if buttons could morph out of the surface of your device? Tactus Technology has developed a new tactile user interface for touchscreen devices that does exactly that. Tactus provides a new dimension to touchscreens by enabling real, physical buttons that rise up from the surface on demand, and then recede back into the screen, leaving a perfectly flat, transparent surface when gone. Check out the movie after the break for more details. » Tactus Technology: Touchscreens With Real Physical Buttons
There are thousands of games for the iPhone, but because of the touchscreen it can be hard to control some of these games. In Japan they created a “solution” for this problem by creating Tactile+Plus “Game-Pad Stick-On” Buttons that you can place on your touchsreen. If you place these stickers on your screen you’ve got something to feel when you push down. Some people prefer this when playing games. » Game-Pad Stick-On Buttons For Your iDevice

There has been a little touchscreen spotted in Taiwan that is actually a part made by Apple. Pictures of this 1.18″ square, 3cm x 3cm touchscreen are posted on a Taiwanese website called Apple.pro “English”. Its not the question if this website can be trusted “because they already proved themselves by showing a legit white iPhone case and a unibody Macbook Pro case before they were released.” So the question is why does Apple need a 3x3cm touchscreen. Is it for a new iPod, some kind of mouse pad or remote? What do you think? » Tiny Apple Touch Screen Spotted! But Where Is It For?
