Definition

A display that responds to finger touches, allowing you to interact directly with what you see on screen. Like being able to touch and move things in a digital world.

Real-World Example

Smartphones, tablets, and some laptops have touchscreens that let you tap, swipe, and pinch to control applications.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Touchscreen is a hardware input/display feature, not a cloud service. Cloud providers don’t offer a direct equivalent, but touchscreens are commonly used as endpoints (kiosks, tablets, rugged devices) to access cloud-hosted apps and virtual desktops.
