And what sort
of technology was that screen using? I expected to see
the grid array of outer infrared LEDs and detectors that I vaguely remember
from that era, but I don't see that here. Someone was making a tube
that was coarsely touch-sensitive?
Theinfrared array you're thinking of was invented at PLATO, for flat panel (plasma)
displays. They don't work for CRTs because of the convex screen.
