Hitachi Demos a Stylus-Friendly Capacitive Touchscreen

Posted by timothy on from the fine-point-you-make-there dept.

dk3nn3dy writes "Hitachi Displays have developed a capacitive touchscreen which converts input from a non-conductive object into electrostatic capacitance. This enables it to be used in a diverse range of ways, such as multi-touch using several fingers, with a plastic pen for finer input, and in cold places while wearing gloves. The display is currently under development for release in the second half of 2011."

    Golly, I wish I could use a plastic pen or gloves to control today's capacitive touchscreens--it'd sure be swell! ...Yes, I'm being snarky, but the Pogo works much better than anything I saw in that video.
