The history of Touchscreen

Nowadays, this technology is common to see. However, let's to see The history of Touchscreen time to times.

TECHNOLOGY of  touch screen likened to a purchaser of food in the cafe. the purchaser is pointing here and there to determine the  delicious menu (side dishes) to be eaten.

However, unlike the philoshopy. It is, incidentally similar way of technology is used on a smartphone nowadays with what is done in the cafe.

That is now often fond of user of gadgets, good or Android based Windows Phone, using touch screen technology (touchscreen).



Technology has changed the style and appearance of the communications devices in the world, turned out to have much by way of expansion and innovation chain so long.

So how the embryo, why those ideas popping up all the points so amazed with touch screen technology. At first, many people who thought that the touch screen is the discovery of Steve Jobs. Pentolan Apple is widely associated with advanced tools such as smartphones, computers and machines in high-end technology.

But it is not actually Steve Indeed, the embryo of this technology to find the first time, but only as an innovator. EA is Jhonson, who is believed to be the inventor of the first touchscreen in 1965.

 a touch on the screen is only just learned how to read one touch at a time. Then, findings from a patent in 1969, is used as a tool for air traffic control until 1993.

Then in 1970, the first innovation to the touch screen began to be developed. Two of the original engineers of CERN, Switzerland, from meramu innovation called capacitive touch screen.

This type of touch screen models, able to work in a way to respond to hard objects (such as sticks) are pushing. The device is then produced by CERN and benefit from in 1973.

Rapid progress
Does not stop there, Elograph name further innovation from resistive touch screen developed by Samuel G. Hurts. The name is taken from the name itself that is Elographics their employer, which began to produce the bulk of the technology in the 1980s.

Unlike capacitive and resistive screen that can only read a single contact point. The multi-touch technology began to be developed in 1982 by the University of Toronto who also central to expand tablet touch screen.

Bell Labs developed a touchscreen that can change from one-touch picture in 1984. When corresponding, Myron Krueger develops an optical system that can track the motion of the hand. This is a preliminary step that drives innovation touch screen is becoming increasingly easy already more advanced.

A year later, the University of Toronto through a Bill Buxton, computer scientists, developing innovative multi-touch tablet using capacitive technology.

More over, precisely in the 1990s, computer scientist Andrew Sears doing academic studies of the interaction of humans and computers. The study explains how single-touch motion, such as turning the knob, scrape to activate. Then the multi-touch like the link object, and click to select.

Came the era of advanced technology at this time, for the last decade, touchscreen technology continues to innovate significant. Yachts are becoming more receptive to touch and movement, even more innovation focused on the quality of the device.
