what technoligy is the track pat build on

[rjvh]

Hi just a question that puzzles me is what is the technoligy that the computer track pat is working on

is it grided? i asume it is otherwise you can't dedicate functions on some parts of it, you do need a coordinate system

and how about the touch screens is that based on the same technoligy??

Hi Robert-Jan!

By "track pat", do you mean touchpad?

I'd try to tell you about them, but since I don't really know that much about it, I'll just say that googling with the term "touchpad" might help you more.


Good luck!

Give it a shot. When I think of a "track pat" I think of a coach giving an encouraging pat on the rear to a runner at a race.

If you want to add TS technology to an existing display, its possible to use the IR [x,y matrix] as a 'bolt on' feature to the screen surround.

A 4 * 4 [x.y] will give 16 discrete areas on the screen for the 'menu'
