The FTIR touch-screen concept


The refractive index of acrylic glass changes when you put you finer up against it, reflecting some of the IR light straight down. This will be detected by a modified webcam, that only detects IR light. When a finger, or any object, is placed on the glass, you get a 'blob' of IR light. This blob will eventually be recognized as a point of touch.
