The History of Multi-Touch Technology
• Interactive touchscreen technology has come a long way, from the first human-input system in 1982 to today's advanced multi-touch displays that use both capacitive and resistive sensors. Capacitive touchscreens, which can recognize up to 20 simultaneous points of touch, provide smooth, intuitive controls that are natural and familiar for users.
• Resistive touchscreens, on the other hand, utilize dispersive signal technology to recognize touches. This technology uses a matrix of collimated light beams to produce a digitized signal that is compared to a list containing each touch position to determine the location of touch.

This patented technology does not require expensive sensor-processing hardware and is able to recognize multiple touch points at once, providing two-handed gesturing capabilities and the ability to operate by multiple users simultaneously. It also can recognize a touch point when the finger is not in the contact area, which is essential for devices with sensitive surfaces such as tablets.
Touchscreens can now be used in a wide range of environments, including schools and other educational facilities, offices, meeting rooms, retail settings, and more. Whether you're looking to upgrade your classroom or are in the market for an aesthetically-pleasing display for the office, interactive touchscreens are a great choice.
