Consider getting a film camera over a digital camera, it’s not a touch choice is it? Film is expensive and then you have to pay for developing. Digital is instant; pictures are published on your computer screen. Digital cameras won’t open up on you and destroy all your photos and you can share all your pictures instantly after you take them. Blurry- erase it, someone blinked? Take it again.
Now when the population gets a choice on a new toy that is touchable verses not, where are people going to turn?
When it comes to capacitive technology, people get excited. Not excited because they know what capacitive technology is but for what it can do for them.
• Move through files at lightning speed
• Expand and pull objects with your fingertips
• Move items easily
But most people don’t know what capacitive technology is.
What is Capacitive Technology and How Does it Work?
Capacitive touch screen technology involves a panel that is coated with a thin indium tin oxide material that conducts continuous electrical currents across a sensor- say a touch screen of an iPhone. It exudes a controlled electronic field in both a vertical and horizontal axis and therefore is capacitive. In order for the capacitive technology to function, it must be touched by something else that also exhibits electricity- like the human body. When a person’s finger touches a capacitive screen, it sends an electric current to then form a mathematical function which signals an action.
Where Else Will We See Touch Screens?
• Laptops
• Mobile phones
• PDAs
• Kiosks for banks, ticket counters, restaurants point of sale screens
• Grocery stores
• Cameras
• Airports, and in planes
• In cars
• More
Like film cameras, pretty soon there it will be hard to find one. Pretty soon, people will be hard pressed to find a phone or laptop that doesn’t have capacitive sensor or touch screens. And with the popularity of touch screens, perhaps that is not such a bad thing.
