Beyond Touch: Introducing Advanced UI Features

Advanced features elevate the quality of the user experience with a touchscreen device. When designing a UI, three features that customers want and need in their handsets are: 1. support for 1mm stylus 2. true waterproofing capability 3. hover functionality. The article explains how these features can be challenging to provide through one method of sensing alone, and many demonstrations are done in a controlled environment. Using a touchscreen controller with the ability to actively switch between self and mutual capacitance on the same chip ensures real-world performance for these kinds of advanced features. It also keeps materials cost and device size down by eliminating the need for a second chip.
