Optical trackpad
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. An optical trackpad is an input device based on an optical sensor, which detects the displacement of a finger that is moving on top of it. The sensor is used typically in smartphones where it replaces the D-pad. The main advantages over a D-pad are:
- It can track movements in 360 degrees and with varying speeds.
- It uses space efficiently, without the need for small buttons that are difficult to press.
Next to browsing through menus, it can drive a mouse cursor in point&click interfaces.
In comparison with trackpads, it detects actual skin displacement, instead of displacement of the center of the area being touched.
