Intel, Arizona State develop user-sensing remote
A project headed up by Magdiel Galan at the Arizona State University along with colleagues at Intel Labs may lead to remote controls for TVs that can detect the user and customize access to content as necessary. The researchers used volunteers to gauge how a certain person holds the specially designed remote, with accelerometer readings taken every 100 nanoseconds. One in five volunteers also entered a PIN into the remote to identify themselves.

Flexible touchscreen LCD
Arizona State University's Flexible Display Center (FDC), along with its military and industry partners, are laying claim to producing the first active-matrix display with a flexible touchscreen. The device uses an active-matrix electrophoretic display tech from E-Ink Corp. along with materials from DuPont Teijin Films for the flexible touchscreen instead of the typical glass used in today's touchscreens. Using a solid glass touchscreen panel defeats the purpose of a flexible display as the package cannot be folded without incurring damage.
