touch technology

Touch technology enables users to interact directly with a device's display by sensing physical contact, typically through electrical or optical methods. When you tap or swipe, the screen detects the location of your touch, translating it into commands. Common types include capacitive touch, which senses electrical changes caused by your finger, and resistive touch, which detects pressure between flexible layers. This technology eliminates the need for external input devices like a mouse or keyboard, making devices more intuitive and user-friendly. It’s widely used in smartphones, tablets, kiosks, and many other interfaces to facilitate seamless, direct interaction.
