TouchWood Labs

TouchWood Labs is a company that transforms ordinary surfaces like tables, walls, and countertops into interactive touch displays. Their technology allows opaque materials such as natural wood, stone veneers, wall paints, coatings, and even fabrics to become touch-responsive displays. This enables the creation of immersive environments where traditional screens are seamlessly integrated into the surroundings.

TouchWood Labs' technology eliminates the need for traditional switches and controls, providing a more flexible and aesthetically pleasing design. Users can interact with the surfaces to control various functions, such as lighting, accessing information, or playing games. In June 2023, the company demonstrated prototypes of their technology, including an interactive Corian countertop sample, a large interactive glass panel, and a concrete-like interactive table surface.

The company aims to revolutionize how technology blends into living and working spaces, offering a more natural and intuitive experience. Their products have the potential to transform industries like hospitality, where interactive table surfaces could display menus, facilitate ordering, and provide entertainment while waiting for food.
