Enabling Touch

Enabling Touch

Resistive screens are inexpensive and relatively easy to interface thus giving them the unique ability to add touch interface to everyday objects. A simple interface allows the use of resistive screens along with an Arduino and Processing to control a PC mouse through the touchscreen (DIY Graphic Tablet). The touchscreen calibration tool created using Processing allows for calibrating a resistive screen as a single touch multibutton panel for reuseable interactive experiences.
