Guide Note
Multi-Touch is a kind interaction with input devices, but also refers to those input devices themselves. This is typically implemented on touchpads or touchscreens. As the name implies, it allows users to give touch input on multiple locations, allowing for more rich and intuitive gesture controls as compared to single-touch devices.
