touch interface

Tap-responsive control surface

A touch interface is a screen or surface that responds to physical contact, allowing users to interact directly with what they see rather than through a keyboard or mouse.

Smartphones, tablets, and ATMs use touch interfaces.

The technology enables gestures like tapping, swiping, and pinching: The touch interface made the app intuitive even for first-time users.
