Microsoft is studying the future physical feedback of Win 10(WP 10) touch screen.

Everyone is used to and recognizes this kind of finger touch interaction, so where should the next generation of smart screens go? Then, in the Win 10(WP 10) era, Microsoft is studying that the touch screen will have real physical feedback in the future.

Back when the physical keyboard of mobile phone was popular, it was not difficult to control the mobile phone, because the physical buttons had a practical touch, and many people could complete many tasks such as unlocking and replying to text messages without looking at the screen. Moreover, embarrassing situations such as accidentally hitting a telephone pole while playing with a mobile phone rarely occur.

Tan Hong, a researcher at Microsoft who specializes in computer touch, believes that the next generation touch screen will do more articles on finger touch, so that smooth glass can bring more touch to fingers.

Hong: You may not realize that our fingers are very sensitive and can distinguish many details. At present, the project I am doing is to make the plane virtual keyboard simulate the tapping feeling of real keys.

Although most mobile phones can simulate the vibration from the inside out, they are still far from our goal. We should let the screen provide more texture and tactile feedback.

For example, open the screen glass of the mobile phone, put the piezoelectric material under the baffle, and then type on the screen. The glass will bend slightly in an instant, so that your fingers will feel the button pressed.

In addition, the screen can also use similar technology to simulate the roughness or smoothness of the contact surface. For example, the black and white chessboard displayed on Lumia920, Haig can produce a matte feeling, and the white grid is as smooth as metal. This intelligent technology not only makes typing easier, but also helps visually impaired people who rely on touch to better understand their surroundings and walk freely.
