When asked who invented the touchscreen, Aura, the AI-powered assistant at the Vegas Sphere, didn’t miss a beat: 'Elo's founder Samuel Hurst'. Watch below to see how this piece of history came to life in the most futuristic way possible.
Las Vegas brought more than just bright lights for the Elo Touch Solutions ’25 Sales Meeting. We had the chance to experience something futuristic at The Sphere Entertainment Co. Vegas Sphere – a truly immersive venue with unique attractions, including Aura, an AI-powered ‘robot’ assistant. Aura’s interactive capabilities were a big hit with the group. You could walk up, ask it questions, and even pose riddles. Some people had fun testing the limits of AI, asking when it will take over the world - or if Aura could outsmart Alexa in a face-off (Aura shared that it believed it would make a better companion). I, however, had something else on my mind… Watch the video below to see how Aura responded to my question: Who invented the touchscreen?
