MAF v3 Framework (Part 2)
The cross-platform MAF Event Bus make use of Qt Signal/Slot to dispatch events between objects locally and remotely. Qt mechanism has been extended to manage also a remote communication transparently to the EventBus users and decouple the sender from the receiver allowing sending events remotely using different network connectors expandable through the strategy pattern.

Touch screen on skin

Researchers at Microsoft are working on ways to bring about any type of surface (in this case the skin) touch screen technology.
To achieve this goal, the researchers used a pico-projector and a special microphone that allows you to intercept the pressure on the skin through your fingers. The system is called Skinput.

The projector can display the user interface, while the microphone determines the position based on the physical principle of transmission of waves transmitted through the body.
The video below shows how to create touch screen interface using the arm of a person as a "screen" touch.
