History of multi-touch[edit] The use of touchscreen technology to control electronic devices pre-dates multi-touch technology and the personal computer. Early synthesizer and electronic instrument builders like Hugh Le Caine and Robert Moog experimented with using touch-sensitive capacitance sensors to control the sounds made by their instruments.[6] IBM began building the first touch screens in the late 1960s‚ and‚ in 1972‚ Control Data released the PLATO IV computer‚ a terminal used for educational

Touch is the oldest and the most primitive sense that we have. It is the first sense we experience in the womb and the last one we lose before death. The organ that is most associated with the sense of touch is the skin. The uppermost part of the skin is called epidermis‚ which is as thick as a piece of paper‚ and it protects the inner part. Below the epidermis‚ there is dermis. Dermis is where the sense of touch is originated from. It is filled with many tiny nerve endings‚ which gives the person

sensory receptors of the skin are concerned with at least five different senses: pain‚ heat‚ cold‚ touch‚ and pressure. The five are usually grouped together as the single sense of touch in the classification of the five senses of the whole human body. The sensory receptors vary greatly in terms of structure. For example‚ while pain receptors are simply unmyelinated terminal branches of neurons‚ touch receptors form neuronal fiber nets around the base of hairs and deep pressure receptors consist

Physiology Assignment Physiology Assignment Short term responses One short term response when playing basketball is when your face starts to go red‚ this happens because the body gets too hot and it tries to cool the body down by bringing blood to the surface of the skin to let some heat out and the skin also produces sweat to let out heat‚ therefore the skin surface goes red. Another short term response to physical activity is that your breathing rate and heart rate increases‚ the reason

The Power of Touch Every human has eight distinct emotions -- anger‚ fear‚ disgust‚ love‚ gratitude‚ sympathy‚ happiness‚ and sadness. All these emotions are displayed and given if various ways. Most often they are verbally communicated from person to person. This article talks about how these emotions are communicated non-verbally through touch. The article starts out with a story from a subway train. It talks about a child being comforted by his mother through a simple squeeze of the hand and

An acute response is an immediate response to exercise. Acute exercise will last throughout the full length of your training session. During the training session our bodies begin to respond to the exercises we are doing and begin to feel the changes within our bodies and mind due to physical strain and stress of the physical activity in lots
