All this beautiful work for a 5 minute educational video, a priceless gift.

what amazes me is the terrifying speed this process is done. your phone has to do the math on the voltages of every single node every moment, and then react to it in milliseconds when there is an anomaly. in a time period we humans would call "instantly"

@matthewtorres7781

Жыл бұрын

the coding and design does make it a little simpler. think instead of one processor monitoring hundreds of nodes, think of each node as doing one job, with one set parameter. if one node gets a voltage above or below that parameter (depending on if your finger decreases or increases voltage, it didnt say in the vid) then that voltage change is applied to the grid. the processor doesnt have to do the math for voltage on each node, just mainly the math to pinpoint where the electrical impulses are coming from on the grid

TED-Ed is easily one of the best KZread Channels. Both in terms of creativity and content. As a curious person and creative myself, I am glad that a channel like this exists!

screens: touch me, we have an electrical connection me: how can i resist, when you're capacitive

Gloves that say they can work with capacitive touch screens just have metallic threads weaved into the finger allowing electric charge to flow between you and the screen. Capacitive stylus work on the same principle with a metallic body connecting you to the stylus tip.

Those snack sausages were my childhood lol glad there's more uses for them

It's crazy how touchscreens are such an integral part of our life and yet I never actually knew how they worked. Idk if its just me but the fact that they use our body's conductivity is surprising but also makes perfect sense

Nice I rly love the animations in this video. And great work getting so much information over in such short time, I was wondering for a while how touchscreens actually work since we didnt learn it explicitly in physic. just noice

At a cross country meet years ago I made the discovery that bananas can be used on touch screens. Didn’t expect it to be mentioned in this video though!

Not only the technology has come so far, I love how awesome Ted Ed videos have become. Absolutely digging this one. And I always wondered about the touchscreen so thanks for such a cool vid.👍🏻

I'd say the distinction between resistive and capacitive touchscreens is what brought Nokia down and what launched iPhone to the top. Nokia (and other manufacturers, for that matter) had touchscreen phones before Apple, but the clumsier resistive-screen kind. The responsiveness of the capacitive screen also encouraged Apple to ditch the manual keyboard and enlarge the screen.

asking the real questions, thank you.

I really appreciate the artist using the actual design of the Korean sausage snack for accuracy. ☆

This is amazing content! I've never searched how the touchscreens work. but when I watched this video, I just blamed myself and asked myself why didn't I. There is a lot of technologies we use everyday and we are not curious about how they work. Thank you TedEd.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. It uses, of course, capacitive touch, but it also has under that some sort of technology from Wacom that allows it to also respond to a stylus. It's like a souped up touch screen.

I noticed that the Windows phone’s capacitive screen is more sensitive than the iPhone. Thank you for this information! Simple and easily-digestible

Wow, this is somehow made the science beyond this complicated device a lot easier to understand.
