Multi-touch displays support all ten fingers at once
,----[ Quote ]
| The French company Stantum is demonstrating
| multi-touch displays that can react to as many
| as ten fingers simultaneously. The Android-
| ready "PMatrix" technology permits the use of
| gloves or styli, responding to varying levels
| of pressure, according to the company.
|
| According to Stantum, its PMatrix IP core and
| firmware watches every grid intersection of a
| touch-panel's matrix and reports any change of
| electrical characteristics, "delivering an
| exact image of what's happening on the
| touchscreen surface." As a result, the company
| claims, there's essentially no limit to the
| number of simultaneous touches a device can
| respond to.
