Forget 3D Touch. If Microsoft has their way, they are looking to forsee where your next touch on screen will be, and touch it first before you hover your finger over the area. The aptly named Pre-Touch technology aims to let users move less while doing more on screen.
Pre-Touch can sense where you’re going to tap before you actually make contact with the screen, and it can even tell how you’re holding the device. It can also give your device a better sense of your intent. This means there will be less "unwanted taps" when you use your smartphones.
This technology looks to be similar to Samsung's Air Touch and this could bode well for sticky and butter fingers as the chance of mistyping or pressing the wrong command on your smartphone may soon be history.
