Every day we scroll on our phones, swipe on our tablets, and increasingly tap on our laptops’ screen – touch screens are so well appreciated that wherever we look around, we can see touch technology-based devices in action – whether using a printer, buying a ticket, or even working.
To give a definition of “touchscreen”, this is both an input and output device that is typically layered on a top of an electric visual display system capable of processing information. It enables users to control data and information through either one or multiple touches, using a specified stylus or their finger. This capability enhances user engagement by allowing to tap, swipe and scroll to experience what are displayed. It’s seamless, it’s fast, it’s intuitive.
As a result, touchscreen can be used for many applications in various industry sectors like entertainment, education, retail, public information system, hospitality, healthcare, transport, and banking… needless to say, it can assist people to live a smarter life.
