Lucky day, a company has developed a touchscreen where users don’t even have to touch the screen in order to use it; simply waving your hand in front of the TochKo screen (as far as six inches away) does the trick. Apparently it was originally designed for medical use, but let’s not forget that the Internet was originally a military invention. I doubt DARPA thought it’d be used for as many silly things as it is now.
And you know what? There’s a video of the TouchKo screen in action after the jump. Really lucky day.
iPhone, you’re so yesterday’s news.

Man we seem to be getting closer and closer to Minority Report every dat!
Sccchhhhhweeeeeet!
Great. Six inches from the screen… it might be innovative technology, but it will still cause major eye strain. If I’m going to get close to the screen, I’d much rather consider Jeff Han’s amazing multi-touchscreen technology.
