What is the future of touchscreens? A patent discovered by Microsoft shows that the Redmond people want their smartphones to deliver the angle and coordinates at which the screen is touched.

What’s your objective? Well, knowing this angle of incidence and coordinates (x, y), would allow adding more possibilities to the interface according to the movement made by the user on the front surface of the smartphone, which it would be a breakthrough in the future development of touchscreens.

The operation is quite simple: the screen would be able to measure two points, one where there is finger-screen contact and the other where what is determined is the distance of the extremity with respect to the screen itself, and that from the patent sketches it seems It is done through a sensor under the device. Knowing this angle of incidence can add new possibilities to the interface.

This technology, together with Apple’s Force Touch, aim to revolutionize the world of screens to make the ones we know so far obsolete.

Be that as it may, it seems that touchscreens are beginning to become obsolete for today’s world, and in fact Microsoft is one of the companies that in the past was already in the news in this field with its screens with textures, input through buttons or that of gestures at a distance. All of them, by the way, stayed on the road and we never heard from them again … And then what is the future of touchscreensyes Only time will tell. Do you bet?
