Qeexo’s Touch Screen Tech Can Distinguish Fingernails from Knuckles

“We got used to using our fingertips to navigate their touch screens with pokes, taps, swipes, and two-finger pinches. There’s more to our fingers than just the tips, though, and a startup called Qeexo aims to take advantage of this with technology that can differentiate between fingertips, nails, and knuckles.”

Qeexo FingerSense: When taps and swipes are not enough

“The touch-based user interface is still modeled after the same tapping, swiping, pinching and rotating gestures we have all grown accustomed to. Don’t you feel this is limiting? Could we do more with our smartphone screens than just type and swipe to interact with on-screen elements?”

Here’s What Real 3D Touch Looks Like

"By measuring a finger’s angle relative to the screen’s surface, the phone is able to register the x- and y-rotation of a touch. This opens a whole new dimension for touchscreens, and creates a richer vocabulary of interactions we can use on our ever-shrinking screens."

Qeexo Showcases Actual 3D Touch Technology

"Qeexo is a company that seems obsessed with making our interaction with our devices more intuitive and intelligent. In this demonstration, they present technology that allows an Android device’s screen to determine the yaw and pitch of the finger touching it in three dimensions. Actual 3D touch. It’s pretty incredible stuff."

FirstNews Briefs: Qualcomm, Sprint, Humavox, Qeexo

Qeexo, a developer of user interaction solutions for touch-enabled devices, announced the debut of EarSense, a software-only alternative to the standard proximity sensor. The proprietary solution reportedly allows mobile devices to recognize contact with the face and ears, rejecting unwanted touches during phone calls.
