I’ve quite often seen heated discussion in forums about Resistive touch vs. Capacitive touch displays.
All the geeks would vouch for the accuracy of resistive touch while others would argue capacitive touch screens are more user friendly, case in point Apple iPhone’s touch-screen, which has forced most mobile manufacturers to adopt Capacitive touch in all of their devices.
Now, we have proof-of-concept that Resistive touch-screens can indeed outshine Capacitive touch-screen displays. Stantum Japan showed off its Slate PC which employs their TouchPark Multi-touch interface and it clearly blows anything on the market today.
Check out the video where they have retrofitted a Dell Mini 10 with their touch-based input device.
If you felt the response isn’t up to the mark, blame it on the hardware. You can check this other video where this system has been implemented for smart phone like device and has no traces of ‘jitters’ often seen on Resistive touch-screens.
It offers incredible accuracy, pressure sensitivity, multi-touch gestures and can be used with almost any contact object for input.
