Touch Event Model

The Touch Event Model describes how devices recognize and respond to user interactions like taps, swipes, or pinches on a touchscreen. When you touch the screen, sensors detect this action and generate events, which travel through a hierarchy of interface elements. These events can be captured or handled at different levels, allowing the device or app to respond appropriately. The model ensures smooth, accurate responses by managing the flow and prioritization of touch signals, enabling intuitive gestures and interactions that feel natural and responsive to users.
