β¨ Interesting thing from the past.
In the 1950s, MIT researchers introduced the light pen, a device that allowed users to interact with CRT monitors almost like todayβs touchscreens. The pen worked by detecting the bright spot created by the electron beam on the screen. As the spot passed under the penβs tip, a built-in sensor would determine its position.
This tech was similar to the light guns used in early video games. It found use in early graphics terminals and even music workstations in the 1960s and 1980s. However, it had its downsides, like causing "gorilla arm" from holding your arm in front of the screen for too long.
π Despite its limitations, the light pen was a key step in the evolution of interactive technology, paving the way for modern touch interfaces.
