Steve Bush, our Technology editor, has covered this one. As well as showing “how the technology can simultaneously power a set of floating Bluetooth speakers and an LCD”, there’s also the capacitive touch technology…
“In addition, the system integrates Zytronic’s projected capacitive touch technology with carved features on the surface of the glass to provide a tactile feel for users to adjust the volume, pause, and so on,” said the company.
Apparently, ElectroglaZ can be used to deliver power transparently through glass to any low voltage device. For example, an illuminated mirror with light bulbs plugged into its perimeter that can be individually or collectively controlled wirelessly via Zigbee. Cool!
Zytronic is based in Tyne and Wear, and you can read more ElectroglaZ here.
