It is now almost 40 years, but one of the most popular office tools is about to become obsolete, according to analysts’

Invented nearly 40 years by Dr Douglas Engelbart while working for the Stanford Research Institute, millions of mice are in service around the world’

However, thanks to new technologies such as touch screens and facial recognition software, it seems mouse calculate days are accounts of analysts predict that, to be completely obsolete in five years’

In recent years has seen an explosion of new input devices, particularly with the rise of PDAs and mobile phones touch screen, where markets are becoming a method, the number of entry’

The touch-screen technology has been around since the 1970s, although traditionally were expensive and normally only used in industrial applications’

However, recent advances in technology today means the touch screen is relatively cheap and can be found in everything from mobile phones, ATM machines, information points and even microwave ovens’

Is expected to touch screens and other technologies such as gesture, facial recognition systems are quickly becoming the replacement of the mouse’

The main advantage of a touchscreen in the conventional mouse, keyboard and monitor is the screen design that is both input and output devices’ Not only that, but saving space, this means that the equipment can be placed in places where a keyboard and a mouse would be impractical, such as outside or left unattended’

Touch screen technology is also widely used in industrial applications that do not have a keyboard and mouse, which means that pollutants such as grease, dirt and dust can not enter and clog the input devices’ Touch screens can also be places in a shelter that protects you from industrial water, dust and even explosive, which allows a computer to be placed, even in the most inhospitable environments’

Touchscreen technology is changing the way we interact with computers and technology that is placed in areas where computers are located’

A touch screen is a touch input device that carries out the functions of both the video display unit and input devices (keyboard and mouse)’ Touch screens have been very popular in recent years and can see all of the shopping malls, airports, fast food restaurants, and ATMs’

The touch-screen technology has been around since the 1970s and there are several companies that manufacture equipment with touch screen’ A touch screen to save space and maintenance, making them popular information kiosks’ These touch screen displays, whether in the form of touch screens or add-on panels that are mounted on a monitor screen’

A touch screen has three main components that allow the operation of the touch sensor, the driver and the driver software’ The driver software is the application program that translates the feeling of touching the controls and communicates with the operating system installed on your computer’ The controller is a PC card that connects the touch sensor for the team’ It is a small gadget that translates the information from the sensor into contact with information that is understandable to the PC’

There are several technologies used in the manufacture of touch screen touch’ The screen can build resistance, capacitive or surface wave technology senses’ A resistive touch screen is where a thin metal layer acts as a tough primary sensory layer’ Raises the resistance layer and move the button as an electrical impulse’ However, the touch screen using capacitive capacitive tendency of the human body, due to interference in its own layer and the capacitive touch sense’ Alternatively, the surface wave touch screen, uses ultrasonic waves’ These waves pass over the touch screen’ Some waves are absorbed when the user touches the screen’ This wave of change events contact and location’

Touchscreen technology using the principles of physics, but the touch screen greatly simplifies communication’ With easy to use and attractive interface, a touchscreen is very privileged to games, training and information’

Touch screens are the future of the mobile phone

June 25th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Touch Screen

Since Apple launched the iPhone every conversation has been about its new touch screen’ LG announced one of its iPhone rival, the Prada phone, which also has a touch screen, the user interface’

Let’s face it, the only function that is close to justify application of Apple iPhone is “five years ahead of the competition” is the screen’

It uses a new technology called Multi-Touch, which is not surprising that on the screen, the recognition of more than one point of contact at the time’ This allows a wider range of commands than simply pressing and leave with a single point device such as a mouse or a stylus’ For example, in the iPhone, it will be possible to zoom in and objects such as Web pages or photos by “unpinching” and “pinching” which is out of level or close the two fingers as if stretching or squeezing the image’

The touch screen also allows the use of a virtual QWERTY keyboard on the screen when needed, and hopefully should provide greater comfort to write using a Blackberry QWERTY Dinky little’

Samsung, for its part, must not remain in the race for the touch screen’ They say their new W559 is the first screen to offer “tactile feedback”‘ The VibeTonz system allows the buttons onscreen to feel more like mechanical, making the phone easier to use when the display is clearly visible’ It can also be configured to fly in different ways when receiving messages from different people!

Japanese DoCoMo network are even better’ While launching the D800iDS, a new touch screen mobile device that has more than one step is similar to Nintendo DS, which also unveiled a phone that appeals to the senses in a different way’ Have a relaxing fragrance! The Sony Ericsson SO703i comes with “replaceable scented sheets” to relax the user while making calls, and includes nine different flavors!

It seems that the mobile touch screen are the future, and why the hell not, if this means that manufacturers produce models like the Nokia Aeon’ Unfortunately, it is only a prototype at the moment but there must be a global campaign to bring into production’ This is the best phone I’ve ever seen!
