How do capacitive touchscreens work?

Analogue resistive touch screens are straightforward touch sensors that consist of two layers of flexible, conductive material. When pressure is applied, these layers deform and make contact with each other. The position of this contact is determined by measuring the change in resistance in the circuit.
