It’s frustrating when you tap an icon on a touchscreen device, only for the device to not recognize the command. Whether it’s a tablet, smartphone, climate control system, etc., accuracy is an important element in a touchscreen device. If the device isn’t accurate, you’ll have a hard time using it. This is why it’s a […]
The upcoming next-generation GoPro video camera may feature a touchscreen interface. This would, of course, be a huge change for the device, as previous generations have relied on mechanical buttons. Originally released April 2005, the GoPro Hero is the company’s signature video camera. Featuring a 3.5 x 3″ design, and weighing less than half a […]
We’ve seen a number of wearable electronic devices released over the past few years, some of which include the Apple Watch, Fitbit, Pebble, Moto 360, Google Glass, and Hololens. While some of these devices experienced moderate success, they ultimately failed to capture the mainstream market. However, an innovative new wearable device may reshape this industry, […]
Touchscreen technology is found virtually everywhere. From your home and car to industrial factories and retail shopping malls, it’s become a staple component of our daily lives. In just over a decade, the touchscreen technology has advanced dramatically, offering greater reliability and functionality. So, what kind of changes can we expect to see in touchscreen […]
Touchscreen technology is found just about everywhere. From smartphones and tablets to smart TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and human machine interfaces (HMIs), the technology now encompasses many everyday products.
