Thanks Dan. This is great. Another consideration is pressure to indicate a touch. That will also get into durability of the screen mechanics. An ELO document for their Accutouch mentions: the activating force is typically less than 4 ounces (113 grams). Have you see anyting in this regard?
I'm assuming this is just for resistive touchscreens. I don't think any other kind requires "pressure" per se. (Some capacitive systems don't even require actual touching, nor do some projector based infrared.) This force may vary by manufacturer/model.
Not sure what the average weight of the human adult finger is, but ELO has been making touchscreens since the 1970s, so they probably know what they are talking about.
