1. A method, comprising:

  • sensing a touch by a touch sensor of an information handling system (IHS);

    measuring, by the touch sensor, a current pressure exhibited by the touch on the touch sensor thereby generating a current pressure measure;

    receiving, by a touch tool of the IHS, the current pressure measure;

    generating, by the touch tool of the IHS, a display image, at a location on a display corresponding to the touch, which is a graphical representation of the current pressure measure, wherein the display image dynamically changes in response to the current pressure measure changing such that the display image remains a graphical representation of an amount of the current pressure measure, and wherein the graphical representation has a first configuration when a first amount of the current pressure measure is within a first range of pressure measurements and has a second configuration when a second amount of the current pressure measure is within a second range of pressure measurements different from the first range of pressure measurements; and

    displaying, by a display device of the IHS, the display image that changes as the current pressure measure changes, wherein displaying the display image further comprises displaying a graphical representation of an item of content of interest, wherein the item of content is an item available for purchase, wherein different levels of detailed information about the item of content are displayed depending upon the current pressure measure and the different levels of detailed information comprise different levels of information about the item available for purchase, and wherein the different levels of detailed information comprises;

    a first level of detailed information comprising a title of a document, which is displayed in response to the current pressure measure being within the first range of pressure measurements;

    a second level of detailed information comprising an image associated with the document, which is displayed in response to the current pressure measure being within the second range of pressure measurements; and

    a third level of detailed information comprising textual content of the document, which is displayed in response to the current pressure measure being within a third range of pressure measurements.
