multitouch
Simultaneous finger input
Multitouch describes screens or touchpads that can detect and respond to multiple simultaneous points of contact.
Before multitouch, touchscreens registered only one finger at a time.
The technology enables gestures like pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, and rotation: Spread two fingers apart to enlarge the image.
Now standard on smartphones, tablets, and laptop trackpads.
