This article is about trying to fix the ambiguity problem of touch screens. When a user touches the screen he or she receives visual feedback of where they touched. Receiving visual feedback helps a user with accuracy when using a touch screen. This technology will also increase a users confidence in touch screen devices because they get a visual of how their fingers influence the screen. This type of application adds a sort of invisible map pointer allowing a user to further increase precision when manipulating the touch screen.
I believe this is a great idea, i have an iphone and several times i have clicked something on the edge of the screen and nothing happens. I believe this application would help to determine if the phone is just slow, misaligned or im just not clicking the right place.
