That's how it felt, with the feedback and everything. Just lightly placing your finger on there wasn't enough to be counted as a press. I had to actually press it a bit harder.

While touchscreens at airports and movie theaters are definitely heat-sensitive, this one isn't such a hard surface, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is something else.

As you can see, all kinds of different technologies, many of which rely on some form of pressure. this is also true of Nintendo DS, SmartPhone, and all the other ones that have a plastic "pen" to go with. Those can't be heat sensitive
