No, regular paint that is not suitable, but the one that is created by specialists of the American University Carnegie Mellon, just amiss. A team of researchers of the Future Interfaces Group has developed a new paint Electrick, thanks to which touch panel you can turn virtually any surface. The creators of technology have demonstrated how to use the paint and the usual wheel of the car turns into a touch controller, with which you can control the dashboard.
The researchers then applied the paint on the guitar, turning the wooden deck tool into a full-fledged touch panel, with which you can adjust the volume and adjust effects.
In addition, the carbon-conductive ink can be used for other purposes: for example, to turn the table in touchscreen, which is easy to draw a graph or diagram, musical instrument, responsive to the tapping of the fingers, and much more. Even ordinary toy thus can be turned into interactive. Electrick painted surface supports multi-touch, so development can be applied to more complex tasks.
