[Not bug] - [Idea] - Touch bar #4

Hey!

I saw your touchscreen project this is a great idea made me think about simulating the Touch Bar. If you need only one specific icon set, you could print it and the camera (thats already on because of touch sceen) could grab wich one is hidden by your finger. If more than one is hidden it doesnt do anything so if you are using the touchscreen it doesnt get confused.

Or you could just print numbers or icons or QR code on it and you could change the fake touchbar layout in the software mapping.

Best regards, Tom

Update:

You could use magnetic icons to variable the fake touchbar so it would be easily customizable
