Chapter 4 : Troubleshooting 22 - Elo Entuitive Touchmonitor CRT Desktop User Guide
Touchscreens: An Overview Appendix A Touch Technology Touchscreens: An Overview Typically, users communicate with computers by using a mouse, a keyboard, or a combination of the two. Users who are not keyboard-literate or mouse-savvy can become frustrated with how long human-to-computer interactions take. Computer literacy is learned. This is complicated by the fact that using a keyboard or a mouse is neither intuitive nor natural for most people.

IntelliTouch’s pressure sensitivity increases the intuitive nature of a user/ touchscreen interaction by allowing for increased selectivity.
