It's acoustically activated. It works without the presence of light - the display is only to help the user navigate. Bright sunlight would probably make the display harder to read, but it would still function to spec.WestMountain said:

I'd rather play on my big screen. It might be useful for portable devices however.
It should be noted that using skin for this could cause long term cancer.

Old news.

OT: That aside, I was hoping this article was about something that piggy backed our nervous system and detected touch instead of sound or light.
I'm still waiting for a neural nanonic interface dangnabbit!
Sadly that will be done when episode 3 is done

ok, so, some people are debating whether or not this is old news when what you should be focusing on is... HOLY Flying Car Space Age Technology Batman! That is freaking amazing! Fuck the DS's touch screen, you can use your whole damn arm! Imagine having video games projected to your arm... I can't wait until this is readily available in devices.
How bizare would it be if your just walking down the street tapping on your arm and getting music to play!
Old yes, awesome nevertheless. Of course to me implanting into the arm and then adding additional perks are the first steps into cyber-technology. Mini-projector in the eye and a bluetooth receiver attached to a micro-processing chip and we have true portable computers. Image forms on the retina (or projects out)and somatic gestures control the interface.

It's definitely a step in an interesting direction.
The actual practicality of this particular model and the arm projector thing is questionable though.

There are already computer input devices that can detect where your looking and interpret brainwaves as key presses, though I think at the moment they are a little tempramental and buggy and require a LOT of calibration , however the technology is available commercially, Combine the two...
