2. • A touch screen is a display
which can detect the presence
and location of a touch
within the display area.
• One point of contact at a
time.
3. • Multi-touch technology is an advanced
human-computer interaction technique
that recognises multiple touch points and
also includes the hardware devices that
implement it.
• which allow users to compute without
conventional input devices .
4. • Multi-touch technology dates back to 1982, when
the University of Toronto developed the first
finger pressure multi-touch.
• In 1984 Bell Labs engineered a multi-touch
screen that could manipulate images with more
than one hand.
• In1991 Wellner published a paper on his multi-
touch “Digital Desk”, which supported multi-
finger and pinching motions.

7. • PP is a company founded by New York
University consulting research
scientist Jefferson Y. Han that creates
wall displays and tables.
• It can accommodate up to 20 fingers.
8. In 2007 they introduced the iPhone, marking
the first time multi-touch technology was used on
a phone.

• Total internal reflection is an optical phenomenon that occurs when a ray
of light strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than the critical
angle with respect to the normal to the surface.
• The critical angle is the angle of incidence above which total internal
reflection occurs.
• The critical angle is given by:
n2= Refractive index of the less dense medium.
n1= Refractive index of the denser medium.
17. ADVANTAGES
• Low cost factor.
• Support high-resolution graphics.
• Larger shared-display systems.
• It acquires true touch image
information at high spatial and
temporal resolutions.
18. APPLICATION
