Microsoft Applied Sciences group shows simple low-lag concept touchscreen.
Users of touchscreen devices will have noticed the slight lag/delay between when they touch the surface with their finger tips, and when that touch actually registers with the device. This is particularly evident when using drawing / painting applications, when you have to drag your fingertip across the screen.
Microsoft Research has shown a very simple concept touch display with two orders of magnitude less latency than current systems. The video is not graphically rich and the demonstration is quite basic, but it gets the point across.
