Introduction to Multitouch Technology
Multi-touch is a method of input on a touch screen that allows two or more fingers to be used on the screen at one time. Apple's iPhone is famous for introducing multi-touch to the cell phone world by using it to allow pinching and stretching gestures on the screen to control zooming. Multi-touch is something typically associated with capacitive touch screen displays rather than with more common resistive touch screen displays.
In computing, multi-touch refers to a touch sensing surface's (track pad or touchscreen) ability to recognize the presence of two or more points of contact with the surface. This plural-point awareness is often used to implement advanced functionality such as pinch to zoom or activating predefined programs.
