Turn your large format display into an interactive
experience by simply attaching an U-Touch screen over
the front of your plasma or LCD flat panel monitor.
Set-up and connection is fast and easy. Touch the
screen and experience the immediacy and excitement
of navigating through windows or multimedia
programmes.
Applications are limitless, ranging from boardroom
or conference room collaboration to public information
kiosks. Also, because the touch frame is a lightweight
slim-fit design, in keeping with the overall look and
feel of your flat panel display - you barely notice it.
Further still, U-Touch takes full advantage of its
specially developed optical sensing technology,
maintaining bright high contrast picture quality,
accuracy and sensitivity, providing for those greater
demand applications.
U-Touch optical imaging technology uses two modules,
rather than surface mounted or perimeter-based
technologies, as a result the technology is extremely
cost-effective. Not only is the technology cost effective
for traditional applications such as point-of-sale,
restaurant, medical imaging, industrial monitoring and
kiosks, but it also scales effectively to allow the
touch-enablement of very large Plasma and LCD
displays.
This completely new technology opens up many
opportunities for marketing presentations, interactive
TV and advertising, large multi-purpose displays, and
education whiteboard applications.
With no overlays, it provides excellent image clarity, is
not susceptible to scratching, is easy to manufacture,
and design-in to current screen technologies and is
relatively inexpensive. Once calibrated, it does not
require any adjustment, and any object can be used as
a stylus, including a gloved finger.
