ABSTRACT
Multi-touch technology is an advanced humancomputer interaction technique that recogonises
multiple touch points.
The hardware devices that implement it, which allow
users to compute without conventional input devices .
Multi-touch consists of a touch screen (screen, table,
wall, etc.) or touchpad.

INTRODUCTION
Touchscreen technology patents were during the

1970s

and 1980s . Touchscreen component manufacturing and


product design are no longer legalities , touchscreenenabled displays on all kinds of devices is widespread.
Touchscreen displays are found today in airplanes,
automobiles, gaming consoles, machine control
systems, appliances and handheld display devices.

MULTI-TOUCH
Multi-touch is a human-computer interaction technique.
Hardware devices that implement it, which allow users
to compute without conventional input devices e.g.,
mouse.
Software that recognizes multiple simultaneous touch
points, as opposed to the standard touchscreen i.e.
computer touchpad, ATM, which recognizes only one
touch.

FUTURE
The use of multi-touch technology is expected to rapidly become
common place.

For example, touch screen telephones are expected to increase from


200,000 shipped in 2006, to 21 million in 2012.

Developers of the technology have suggested a variety of


ways that multi-touch can be used including:
1.Enhanced dining experience
2.Concierge service
3.Governmental use
4.Concept mapping
5.Collaboration and instruction on
Interactive Whiteboards

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

HARDWARE
Hardware requires basically IR
leds,acrylic,camera,projector and a
computer.

SOFTWARE
Computer applications are necessary to communicate between a
multi touch display and a computer.

These applications can be developed within several languages /


programming environments.
For example: C, C++, Java.

WORKING
The infrared light is beamed inside the acrylic and
reflects internally. In a simple way, you can say that,
IR-light bounces inside the acrylic, from one side to
another. As a finger touches the acrylic surface, the
internal reflection of the IR-light, is interrupted.
The infrared light scatters on the finger tips. Infrared
light is invisible to the human eye, but by placing an
infrared camera behind the acrylic your fingertips will
be visible on the infrared camera.

ADVANTAGES
Multi touch based on FTIR is a simple and inexensive
technique .
It constructs a multi touch display with the available
and less costly materials .
This could be used to determine the force sensitivity
on displays , either too hard or soft touches can be
analysed.

APPLICATIONS
A multi touch display can be used in
Personalcomputers,Laptops,Tabletops, Graphics Tablets
.
It supports both LCD and CRT monitors .
Telephones ,Watches ,PDAs, Mobile phones.

CONCLUSION
This technique using FTIR is simple and easy to
implement . It

provides any resolution displays

supported with high graphics.
