Researchers at the Hosoda Laboratory of Osaka University are exploring ways to use a furry fiber-optic cable for displays. This approach could prove useful for interaction with electronics with the FuSA2 touch display.

FuSA2 Display

The FuSA2 display arranges a series of fiber-optic cables to develop a furry surface. When a user strokes the display surface, the IR radiation bends back via the fiber cables to two ends. One of the ends reflects the light to a camera that is linked to a computer. The computer processes the stroked surface, while the other end projects the colored light. The effect produced appears similar to the stroke marks found on a carpet. A color tail follows whenever the display surface is touched.

The FuSA2’s Project Manager, Yuichi Itoh stated that the touch display can be utilized in various practical applications such as for interacting with electronic pets or for interactive digital signs. The touch interface can be utilized as a turf on a soccer field to track the positions of soccer players, Itoh remarked.
