Gamepads allow the player to control movement and views with small sticks and multiple buttons. Many gamepads also have triggers that register the amount of pressure the player puts on them. Joysticks are often used to play flight simulation-style games.]]> 2018-09-10 14:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279444792 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279447384  These input devices capture images that can be stored, displayed, printed, or altered.

The digitization of the image is stored as a file that can be displayed, printed, or altered. A bar code reader is a type of scanner that reads Universal Product Code (UPC) bar codes. It is widely used for pricing and inventory information.]]> 2018-09-10 14:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279447819 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279448182 This device allows a designer or artist to create blueprints, images, or other artwork by using a pen-like tool called a stylus on a surface that senses where the stylus tip is touching it. Some digitizers have more than one surface, or sensor, and allow the user to create 3D models by performing actions with the stylus in mid-air.]]> 2018-09-10 14:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279448182 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279448565 These input devices identify a user based on a unique physical feature such as their fingerprints or voice.

It consists of two polarizing filters with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electronic current aligns the crystals so that light can either pass through or not pass through]]> 2018-09-10 15:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279449767 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279450414 A light-emitting diode (LED) display is an LCD display that uses LED backlighting to light the display. LED has lower power consumption than standard LCD backlighting, allows the panel to be thinner, lighter, brighter, and display better contrast.]]> 2018-09-10 15:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279450414 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279450851 An organic LED display uses a layer of organic material that responds to electrical stimulus to emit light. This process allows each pixel to light individually, resulting in much deeper black levels than LED. OLED displays are also thinner and lighter than LED displays.]]> 2018-09-10 15:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279450851 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279451470 Plasma displays are another type of flat panel monitor that can achieve high levels of brightness, deep black levels, and a very wide range of colors. Plasma displays can be created in sizes of up to 150 inches (381 cm) or more. Plasma displays get their name from the use of tiny cells of ionized gas that light up when stimulated by electricity.]]> 2018-09-10 15:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279451470 collinmoran_student21 https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279452095  Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a projection technology. DLP projectors use a spinning color wheel with a microprocessor-controlled array of mirrors called a digital micromirror device (DMD). Each mirror corresponds to a specific pixel. Each mirror reflects light toward or away from the projector optics.]]> 2018-09-10 15:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/collinmoran_student21/3o2u4m4rg77a/wish/279452095
