html5 and heat sensors

Question

I'm new to html5 programming and was thinking of building an html5 app for iphone. I was wondering if there was any information in the API about sensing temperature on touch in the api? My app depends on the temperature of ones finger when they touch the screen. Is there anyway to measure this? IF not, is there a way to measure the amount of pressure applied to the screen?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Room temperature: Yes.

The temperature of your thumb on the iPhone screen: no.

The pressure of your thumb on the screen: also no.

Remember - the iPhone "touch" works on capacitance, not "mechanical pressure".
