Want to have a mobile with touchscreen? But do you find it too expensive and not fitting your budget? Are you restricted in the use of internet and apps because you don't have touchscreen phones?
O yes, I am and for all those people having the same problem, Engineers in Cambridge may just have the answer to your woes - and you do not even need to splash out on a new mobile. The engineers at the Cambridge University have developed a software which can tell exactly where you tap on a screen simply by listening to the sound it makes.
A purely software option that just measures the sound signals through the normal microphone of the telephone, and characterizes where you might have been tapping on the screen to replicate the performance of a normal touchscreen phone.
Because the invention doesn't involve any hardware upgradation of the phone, it would simply be a matter of finding the relevant application on the internet, paying for it and downloading it onto your phone.
The technology is so effective at monitoring sounds that it can pin point the "tap" to within one square centimetre, and that it is responsive enough that most users will not even realise the difference between this approach and a conventional touchscreen handset.
The screen resolution is not as good as one will get on an iPhone or new touchscreen phones, but one can certainly navigate complex menu structures on the phone in a similar way to an iPhone.
I am just waiting to find a similar application for my mobile and have an experience of touch screen.
