Industrial Automation
By eliminating the keyboard in a
distracting and often harsh environment,
touch simplifies the human/machine
interface for large, complex equipment.
In addition, some touch technologies are
rugged enough to be used in environments
such as steel mills and oil refineries where
the user must wear heavy gloves to protect
against caustic chemicals and vapors.
Gaming
Interactive gaming systems designers
have found that touch allows the user to
concentrate on the activity presented on the
screen without having to coordinate hand-
eye movements of the input device. The
intuitive nature of touch complements the
selection-based activity required by
interactive gaming systems.
