Touch screens are gradually sneaking into almost all front of our daily lives. Right from waking up to a cellphone alarm, using thermostat for adjustment of room temperature, swapping the radio station in the car, and operating the washing machine, a touch screen is doing wonders to revolutionize the user interface for the end customers.
With the technological advancements, the capacitive touch screens have replaced the resistive touch screens. Though, still finding its applications in varied sectors especially in ATMs and retail grocery stores, the resistive touch screen is experiencing decline in its demand owing to its technical limitations leading to operational inaccuracies and also difficulties in usage.
On the other hand, the capacitive screen is having a cutting edge in its technology thereby giving more precise results and multiple touch registration simultaneously enabling the zoom-in and zoom-out features along with other benefits such as better battery life and affordable processing.
Since 2007, with the launch of iPhone, the consumer electronics have been dominated by the capacitive touch screens. A number of other mobile platforms (especially Android and Windows Phones) have not only effectively replicated the fundamental worthy ideas of iOS, but also, in many respects have surpassed them. However, the credit still goes to iPhone for outlining the form factor and design language which would be utilized by all the future devices.
Computer touch screens have started gaining popularity in recent years. Now, the leading operating systems are coming up with customized designs suiting these touch screen monitor. With the technological advancements, the reduction in the prices of such monitors is favouring its adoption.
The test and measurement arena is also going to experience the debut of capacitive touch screens and designed-for-touch user interfaces along with a number of innovations such as zone touch trigger, touch handles and pinch-to-zoom.
Further, the touch screen revolution is also benefiting the industries in a diverse fashion. Especially the service sector is leveraging the enormous possibilities of optimization by establishing a connection between touch screen technology and other systems such as point of sale, home/business automation tools and cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS). The major areas where this technology is playing a promising role in a service oriented industry include procurements, payments, inventory and logistics management.
The touch screen technology is constantly evolving and is greatly influencing the world around us for its betterment is different aspects and arena of not only an individual rather of the industries operating across geographies as well.
