Abstract

This research work focuses on touch sensing, which is the burning issue in the field of smart vision. This research work has taken touch based system a step ahead by choosing the kind of coating that could be used in any device where a display is necessary. All kinds of materials like conductor, semi - conductor and insulator are taken and tested for sensing. Here, thin film of glass coated with various compounds like copper, copper oxide, indium tin oxide, combination of cadmium oxide and zinc oxide are tried. In addition to coating made on glass, titanium dioxide is coated on metal and checked for sensing of touch. A comparison is made among conductors, semi-conductors and insulators. The obtained results would indicate the kind of material that would be suitable for the application of touch sensing. It is also tested for various kinds of light. This would tell the material that would be suitable according to the prevailing lighting..
