LATEST VERSION: "Touch Technologies Tutorial"
Last updated:June, 2014
This is a combination of (a) the current slide set for Geoff Walker's new four-hour "Fundamentals of Projected-Capacitive Touch Technology" tutorial course, and (b) all of the slides covering touch technologies other than projected capacitive which were extracted from the previous (October 2013) version of the tutorial course.
Since for the first time in about seven years, I'm not teaching this course at Display Week 2015, it hasn't been updated since 2014, I'm hoping for an opportunity to teach the course at a conference later this year, which will require me to do a significant update.
