  2. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    Mutual capacitive sensors can provide a two-dimensional image of the changes in the electric field. Using this image, a range of applications have been proposed. Authenticating users, [23] [24] estimating the orientation of fingers touching the screen [25] [26] and differentiating between fingers and palms [27] become possible. While capacitive ...

  3. Touchscreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen

    As the human body is also an electrical conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screen's electrostatic field, measurable as a change in capacitance. Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch. The location is then sent to the controller for processing.

  4. Resistive touchscreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_touchscreen

    Resistive touchscreen technology works well with almost any stylus-like object, and can also be operated with gloved fingers and bare fingers alike. In some circumstances, this is more desirable than a capacitive touchscreen, which needs a capacitive pointer, such as a bare finger (though some capacitive sensors can detect gloves and some gloves can work with all capacitive screens).

  5. Touch switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_switch

    Video demonstrating the operation of a touch-sensitive lamp A touch-sensitive lamp is a combination of a lamp and a touch switch. They act on the principle of body capacitance, activated by human touch rather than a flip, push-button, or other mechanical switch. They are popular as desk and nightstand lamps. Touch-sensitive lamp switches may be ...

  6. Stylus (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylus_(computing)

    Capacitive styluses work by distorting the screen’s electrostatic field. [9] Screens that receive input from a capacitive stylus (as well as human fingers) can't register pressure applied by the pen; tilting of the pen; and can't distinguish between a capacitive stylus, your finger, or a resting palm as input - it will register all of these ...

  7. Electroadhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroadhesion

    Electroadhesion [1] is the electrostatic effect of astriction between two surfaces subjected to an electrical field.Applications include the retention of paper on plotter surfaces, astrictive robotic prehension (electrostatic grippers), electroadhesive displays, [2] etc. Clamping pressures in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 N/cm 2 (0.8 to 2.3 psi) have been claimed. [3]

  8. Electric-field screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-field_screening

    In plasma physics, electric-field screening is also called Debye screening or shielding. It manifests itself on macroscopic scales by a sheath (Debye sheath) next to a material with which the plasma is in contact. The screened potential determines the inter atomic force and the phonon dispersion relation in metals.

  9. Haptic technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology

    Haptic technology (also kinaesthetic communication or 3D touch) [1] [2] is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. [3] These technologies can be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation , to control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines and ...
