Interact Through Your Electronic Digital Display Like Never Before

What was once a clunky and unresponsive foreshadowing of future-tech has become a staple among small electronics and mobile phones; touch screens are the new norm of interactivity – why wouldn’t you want to use them to better engage your audience?

In high traffic areas, touch screens are a fantastic way to make people stop, pay attention and are a method of engaging customers one-on-one to inform, advertise or even entertain. Easy-to-use and incredibly difficult to pass by, touch screens are the ultimate eye-catcher.

How Touch Screen Displays Work

Touch screen kiosks can be constructed in two ways: touch sensitive overlays can be installed within a commercial signage panel to add new functionality to an electronic display or they can be installed as an application on a PC attached to a digital display device.

Attaching a touch screen overlay panel to a display screen allows the user to trigger signals upon contact.

An infrared light is omitted over a plane across the surface of the screen that detects touch through either an active, infrared LED or a passive, reflective surface system. Two optical sensors track the movement of any object pressed against this surface and report the information back to a printed circuit controller signal board.

The system’s software triangulates the position of the object in contact with the screen, follows it and responds to its movement.
