How to Repair and Fix the touch screen of your android smartphone

Image
Is the touch screen on your Android cell phone unresponsive or responding incorrectly? Do some parts of your phones screen respond while other parts do not? When trying to make a selection on your phone does it end up selecting something else instead? Looking for a way to try to fix this and prevent it from happening? Then you have come to the right place. This tutorial describes not only how to test the touch screen on an Android but also what can be done to try and fix it. Before we begin Before we really dive in to testing and troubleshooting your touch screen the first thing that you should do is power cycle your cell phone. Simply powering your phone off, counting to 10, and then turning your phone back on can often solve minor software glitches or software hiccups, especially if you haven’t powered your phone off for a while. If power cycling your phone does the trick then enjoy your working cell phone; if your phone continues to have problems then we are going to want to...

3D Surface Computing by Microsoft

This project investigates techniques to enable interaction with 3D virtual worlds on interactive tabletops. We investigate techniques to extend the display space beyond the display using among others switchable projection screens. Another area of interest is sensing of 3D input data above 2D surfaces. Here we're presenting a number of interaction technique that enable fine-grained manipulations of virtual 3D worlds. Interactions In the Air This project explored several interaction techniques that allow for richer human computer interaction more akin to the flexible and continuous ways in which we manipulate objects in the real world. A model for more natural interactions with 3D data on interactive surfaces is introduced. Because the interaction – the sensed input and the displayed output – is still bound to the surface, there is a fundamental limitation in manipulating objects using the third dimension. To address this issue, we proposed a novel approach to creating...

Creating your First Multi-touch Table

Image
  It has been a long time since I've contributed to this website--going on to a year almost--I was trying to accomplish a personal goal that was in the making since my early high school years. This instructable has taken 2 years of independent research and setbacks, but it is finally here. I present to you the complete guide to building a personal Multi-touch table at home with basic design and engineering skills ( I will attempt to fully explain every detail so that even a beginner can find success!). Most mathematics have been performed so the only fear regarding this project is the fact that it will take some time to put together . . . and some money. As with every project, here is a bit of back-story: When I was in my freshman year of high school, I was invited to attend an engineering "field day" taking place in Alabama's Redstone Arsenal. Although most of what we were shown during this trip were projects that I am not able to speak about, one...
