Touchscreen technology is becoming more and more popular. Not only is it showing up in consumer technology, it shows itself at ATMs, airplane entertainment systems, and much more. But there's one major problem with the trending tech; it lags. Most touchscreen panels experience a 100 ms delay between when you touch the screen and when it registers your touch. And that's all quite fine for most actions you'll make on a touchscreen device like tapping or swiping slowly. But the lag is really noticeable when your swipes speed up. For example, when you're quickly doodling in a painting app, you'll notice that your finger is often ahead of the line you're making.
Well, the engineers over at Microsoft Research may have found the solution. Microsoft has just created a touchscreen panel that lags bu only 1 ms. This delay is unnoticeable, even when you're drawing really fast. But don't get too worked up; we don't know if the screen will be in a future piece of technology, and the video just shows a box on the screen following a quickly-moving finger. Nevertheless, this discovery does give us hope for overcoming the touchscreen dilemma.
