Microsoft demonstrates the super fast Touchscreens for the future!

Touch screens are everywhere and it is not far to be part of human’s life. But the today’s touchscreens are not fast enough to our actions.  According to the demonstration from Microsoft, the average touchscreens have a latency of around 100ms, which means the delay of response between you touch the screen and the feedback received.

Mr. Paul Dietz from Microsoft’s Applied sciences group explains this pretty well with an example.   He says, if you drag an app across the iPad’s screen,  the icon will move behind your finger and tries its best to keep up the speed of your finger movement. But if you notice well, you can find the difference in the movement of the icon. It actually moves with a delay of 100 milliseconds, the icon doesn’t move along with your finger but follows the finger. According to the research from Microsoft, Mr. Dietz states that this latency can be reduced to 1ms.

Dietz also demonstrated how the touchscreens would behave when the delay is 1ms. He demonstrated the same example by dragging the finger across the screen. Surprisingly the difference was very evident, the icon moved along with the finger (I mean, the icon was perfectly stuck with finger’s movement). One millisecond delay brings out instantaneous feedback.

Check out the video below, which very well proves to be the fastest touchscreen for the future devices.
