#multitouoch technology

Most people are familiar with the general principle behind touchscreen technology: the interface works by determining where you touch, and uses this information to determine which icons or buttons the operator presses. But there are different kinds of touchscreen technology, including multi-touch. Today we're going to take a closer look at multi-touch technology, revealing how it works and why it's becoming such a popular choice among touchscreen manufacturers.

Multi-touch is essentially a type of technology that allows a device to recognize and process multiple touches at once. Most touchscreen devices can only recognize one touch. So if you try to place your fingers on two different parts of the device at the same time, it will only record the location touched by your first finger and not the second. Multi-touch technology is designed to solve this problem by supporting the use of multiple simultaneous touches.

For example, devices that support multi-touch technology can implement functions such as pinch-to-zoom, the activation of subroutines associated with gestures, additional controls and much more. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of using multi-touch technology.

Data discovery, medicinal & healthcare imaging, Geographic exploration, digital storyboard, commercial as well as industrial design and many more countless applications can be explored and implemented with the help of multitouch technology

 Multitouch and multi-users systems have great potential and have attracted the attention of many designers and programmers to figure out the endless possibilities

Today every individual is aware of the touch technology because of the wild popularity of smart phones. With gadgets like mobile, laptops and television evolving and making communication easier, 

Multitouch technology has the ability to break these long-established boundaries and come up with new methods for innovative brand interaction.

With the increase in demand for touch technology, the application has expanded to consumer devices. Industrial equipment, medical products and a lot of non-consumer products are also in the process of using it for ease of use for various functions and procedures. 

 From hotels to cinema, from supermarkets to museums and to a variety of outdoor public installations, multitouch technology can be used in many ways.

There are numerous gesture movements which can be used in this application like two fingered “rotate, zoom and pinch”, scrolling and panning through lists and swiping to the adjacent pictures or screens. 

Multitouch technology also allows multiple pressure points to be interpreted at the same time, including gestures.

The importance of multitouch technology in automation

Most people are familiar with the general principle of touchscreen technology: the interface works when the touch point is determined. It is the information that determines which icons or buttons the operator is pressing. However, there are several different types of touch screen technology, including multitouch.

Adapted and prepared for new technologies, multitouch is fundamental in automation, taking into account the following characteristics and benefits:

·         Low implementation costs

Multitouch technology offers great advantages without the need for a significant investment or a drastic change.

·         Cost reduction

Companies are able to reduce costs, taking into account the ease of use of any equipment with multitouch technology.

·         Automated problem diagnosis
