Touchscreen Equipment

In the past decade, the touchscreen technology industry has grown rapidly, and now dominates the technology market. From phones and watches through to large advertising displays and satnavs, there is no escaping interactive screens.

There is a number of different touchscreen technologies that allow the multitude of interactive devices to work. These include: resistive, surface wave, infra-red and capacitive touch, with each type of technology suiting a different device.


Tablets

Tablets were first introduced to the market in 2000 by Microsoft, however it wasn’t until April 2010 when Apple released the first mass-

market tablet – the iPad, that they became a mass-market product. Since then, the popularity of this touchscreen device has grown rapidly, becoming one of the most popular devices for both personal and workplace applications. Like mobiles, these devices also use capacitive touch technology, the most advanced technology on the market.

Midshire is able to supply a large range of tablets for both businesses and schools, from Kindle right through to Apple, as well as tablet charging stations for schools and education environments.

Sat Navs / ATMs

These devices offer some of the most basic touchscreen technology. Using resistive touchscreen technology, they are more durable than

their more advanced counter-parts, making them better suited to being outdoors. However, they are not multi-touch and can be slow to respond. These devices are cheaper to make than the other technologies, and meet the requirements of users who only need to press a number of buttons to complete their request, rather than completing long and often complicated interactions, like those completed on mobile phones and tablets, where scrolling and pinching is required.

These touchscreens are sensitive to pressure; a user interacts with the mobile applications by touching, scrolling, swiping and pinching pictures or words on the screen.
