What is Multi-Touch?
Multi-Touch is a growing technology being used in certain touch screens and touchpads. What makes Multi-Touch unique from traditional touch screens is the increased level of sensativity and control. With this technology, new possibilities and products are being introduced everywhere from cell phones, computers, and other consumer products.
Popular products using Multi-Touch technology include the iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Pro notebooks.
Rather than only recognizing a single touch, products equipped with Multi-Touch can sense mutilple simultaneous touches using things like heat, finger pressure, high capture rate cameras, infrared light, optic capture, and shadow capture as triggers.
