How much more accurate would our touchscreens be if the screen could deduce exactly what parts had the most pressure applied. This could revolutionize touchscreens as we know them.]]>Jan 27th 2010 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/Jan 27th 2010 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/Jan 27th 2010 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/

This article is incorrect - it's just describing a new form of pressure sensitivity, rather than an introduction of it.]]>Jan 27th 2010 5:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/

Take the Zune HD for example, it already provides pressure sensitive input.

This touch 'recognition' software that compensates for the area pressed and senses 'pressure' in the Zune HD is one of the things that makes its touch response and tracking the most accurate of any device in its category.

This technology is cool, but I get the feeling that people don't realize that devices like the Zune HD are already around and doing pressure sensitive input.

(Even many of the TabletPCs that support 'touch' in addition to Pen input support pressure sensitivity, and all support Pen pressure sensitivity going back to 2003.)

Everytime I'd let someone else use it, I'd be worried sick that they're going to try to apply TOO much pressure and crack the LCD.

Otherwise, it's a great step forwards, and one step closer to having a touchscreen feel as natural as using something physically (like a keyboard)]]>Jan 27th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/pressure-sensitive-touchscreens-show-up-on-the-not-too-distant-h/
