MULTI TOUCH TECHNOLOGY

ABSTRACT

When interacting with a regular desktop computer, indirect devices such as a mouse or keyboard are used to control the computer. Results of the interaction are displayed on a monitor. Current operating systems are restricted to one pointing device. With the introduction of multi-touch, a new form of human computer interaction is introduced. Multi-touch combines display technology with sensors which are capable of tracking multiple points of input. The idea is that this would allow users to interact with the computer in a natural way.

Multi-touch consists of a touch screen (screen, table, wall, etc.) or touchpad, as well as a software that recognizes multiple simultaneous touch points, as opposed to the standard touch screen which recognizes only one touch point at a time. Multi touch using Frustrated Total Internal Reflection is a simple, inexpensive, and scalable technique for enabling high-resolution multi- touch sensing on rear-projected interactive surfaces. Different applications for multi-touch interfaces both exist and are being proposed. Some uses are individualistic eg iPhone, iPod touch, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air. The use of multi-touch technology is expected to rapidly become common place.

Error:

after save the program we can compile it and we can run it by pressing the keys alt+f9(compile) and ctrl+f9(running) respectively.

while compiling and running it wont give any error.

but it flickers the screen and then terminates it.

when we press the keys alt+f5 it prints the BGI error

to recctify the error we must copy the "EGAVGA.BGI" file from BGI foder into the current folder where we save our program.

steps to goto BGI folder:

start---> my computer---> local disk(C)--->turbo c++--->Disk--->turboc3--->

BGi folder--->EGAVGA.BGI.

again save the program and then compile and run it

then we willl get the analog clock as output.

output:
