Multitouch Screens Could Enliven New Devices
December 31, 2009 | Source: New York Times
New York University Media Research Lab’s Touchco spinoff has developed a new kind of multitouch based on interpolating force-sensitive resistance (IFSR)–using force-sensitive resistors, which become more conductive as you apply different levels of pressure.
This allows for very low power, low cost, unlimited simultaneous touch inputs and the possibility of fully flexible multitouch devices.
