Capacitive Buttons Fashion or Trend? | 2009-10-07 | Synaptics |
| Touchscreens are well integrated into modern commercial landscape. One finds them on mobile phones, grocery store check-out counters, ATMs, airport check-in kiosks, gas pumps, and elsewhere. While resistive touchscreen technology still accounts for the majority of the touchscreen market, more manufacturers are employing capacitive touchscreens. Capacitive technology detects the capacitance that one's finger introduces to several wires under the device interface, and the user does not have to physically "Push" the button. Capacitive touchscreens are designed to work with finger, which brings a new ability to manipulate objects on the screen via hand and finger gestures. | |||

Experiences of Supporting Local and Remote Mobile Phone Interaction With Touchscreen Based Situated Displays | 2009-06-16 | Lancaster University |
| The use of mobile phones appears to provide a range of opportunities for supporting interaction with public displays. Furthermore, such interaction can help overcome some of the problems associated with interactions with public displays, e.g. the potential inability of users interact with a touch screen display because of its physical placement (e.g. inappropriate height for a wheelchair user), supporting multi-user interaction and as a means for enabling user content to be transferred to a public display. This paper discusses the explorations of some of these issues and present design guidelines as a result.

Usability Guidelines for Self-Service Touch-Screen Kiosks | 2008-08-01 | Fujitsu |
| The self-service, touch-screen kiosk must be easy and simple to use by people who have little computer experience, a low literacy level, and no prior experience with the kiosk application. In addition, touch-screen users expect to spend a short time at the kiosk since they are typically standing and can only use their fingers to perform actions. This means that the kiosk application must allow users to complete a task in just a few, uncomplicated steps. | |||

Touchscreen Supply Chain | 2008-06-13 | Cypress Semiconductor |
| A detailed understanding of the capacitive touchscreen supply chain is vital for customers considering touchscreen end products. The engagement model chosen should match the in-house design capabilities, component supplier value added services, and available options for module design and supply. This white paper provides an overview of the touchscreen supply chain. It describes the key components of the supply chain and the touchscreen modules available in the market.

X-Wire Resistive Multi-Touch Screens | 2008-05-01 | SiMa Systems |
| Resistive single-touch screens have been then workhorse of the touch screen market for 20 years. A primary limitation of resistive touch screens is its inability to resolve multiple simultaneous touches. It is equally debilitating when wanting to ignore un-intended touches, e.g. a resting palm or a gripping thumb while writing. SiMa's X-wire resistive multi-touch screens employ the same basic principals as single touch screens but break the large single sensor into a matrix of smaller sensors. This creates a complex interconnect which is resolved with SiMa's cost effective Terminal Interface Chips that are placed on a flex circuit. This ring of Terminal Interface Chips is in turn connected to a modest micro-controller that collects, normalizes, and communicates the touch data. | |||

GlobalSTORE: Touch-Screen Point of Sale Software: Strategies for Evaluating the Technology | 2008-04-10 | Fujitsu |
| High-tech, touch screen software has come of age at a time when many retailers are ready to upgrade their POS systems. Is it cost-effective for these retailers to move to touch-based software technology? A full-featured, completely touchable POS system will eliminate the need for a keyboard and mouse, and reduce the hardware profile of the checkout desk. But retailers need to know if touch screens are tough enough to hold up under daily usage. They want to have confidence that touch screen POS software can really do all that is needed by touch alone, without being too complex to customize. Just as important, retailers must be sure that their sales associates and register operators, both current and future, can truly work faster and easier with a touch screen POS system.
