Industry approach: turn all screens ever to be sold again into touchscreens. Problem solved. ;-)
Touchscreens only work when they’re close to horizontal. Try to use them in a more vertical orientation, and you get the well-known effect known as “gorilla arm”.
Ooh... I smell a business opportunity: The Anti-Gorilla-Arm-Telescope (similar to the selfie telescope/extension arm) - allows you to touch far-away touchscreens without hurting yourself.
