According to the rumors, we may see one or two major announcements of FTIR devices later today.

I wonder how they get around finger prints left on the sensing screen. FTIR works because your finger acts as an index matching medium for the light. A thin film of finger oils left on the screen can also act as an index matching medium. (I have similar problems to deal with making fiber optic sensors.)

Only Tom Cruise could manage to make a technology this cool look ridiculous.
