    AKA: Floating touch display, introduced by Sony like… 18 months ago.

    Wake me up when China-phones get bendy AMOLED screens.

      I guess that current floating touch can not take place of the above glove mode touch when we needs accurate touch control.

        Floating touch = Glove mode. It's the same thing, you just gave it a different name.

        The basic premise behind floating touch was to allow the user to give 'hover' commands to the phone. For example, putting your finger over a button, but not actually touching the screen, registers it as a 'hover command' rather than the default 'select' command. Sure, it also allows you to use the phone while wearing gloves, which is one of the side benefits of floating touch.

        Glove mode I suspect is the same thing, just implemented into Android as an accessibility feature rather than a special input event.
