Atmel’s advanced capacitive touchscreen technology - maxTouch
Imagine a touchscreen so friendly, it feels like the extension of your own hands… This is what’s promised by the revolutionary new touchscreen technology by Atmel. Now, you’ll be able to use multiple gestures and multiple touch points at the same time. And the maxTouch technology claims to be equally effective with dry and wet hands and weather. So, it ought to behave whether if you are in a dusty desert or in the snow of tundra… The demonstration video looks very impressive.
The new maxTouch technology makes use of a capacitive sensing methodology and booasts the following benefits over the ordinary touch screens..
- Unlimited touch
Unlimited touch provides you maximum flexibility in the human interface including the use of fingers, nails and stylus pen. - Precise
Excellent multiple touch adjacency and intuitive rejection of unintended touches. - Fast response
Atmel’s touch optimized AVR microcontroller combined with our patented touch technology minimize acquisition time and enhance the user experience. - Ideal for broad range of touchscreen applications
Supports a broad range of touchscreen applications including mobile handsets, netbooks, printers, GPS, digital cameras, portable media players and point of sale terminals. - Environmentally robust
Robust and resilient under harsh climate (hot/cold temperature), dusty and humid/wet environment. - Low power consumption
Atmel’s power-saving technology allows for extended battery life.
We’ll soon be seeing the maxTouch technology being used in new products, it is poised to be demontrated in September 2009. Well, I am waiting for the curtains to be drawn.
