interactive screen

Responsive digital surface

An interactive screen is a display that responds to touch, gestures, or other direct input, allowing users to manipulate what they see rather than just view it.

The term covers everything from smartphone displays to museum kiosks to classroom smartboards: The kids gathered around the interactive screen to explore the map.

Distinguished from passive screens that only display output.
