New for ISE 2012 are some additional touch technologies for some of is Elo TouchSystems’ most popular touchmonitor models.
The zero-bezel design removes the frame found around standard monitors to create a seamless surface designed to showcase the HD wide-screen experience.
Elo says that zero-bezel projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology gives a unique design resistant to water, impacts, scratches and other contaminants on the screen. With the Windows 7 OS and compatible driver, multi-touch functionality is available. (and with Windows 8 on the way, this year….only better.)
PCAP touch monitors are highly sensitive to a light touch with no known wear-out mechanism from repeated touches, says the company. That’s an advantage for public usage applications.
iTouch touchscreen technology is claimed to be a step up from conventional surface acoustic wave touch technologies. With no moving parts to wear out, touch response is described as fast, accurate, and drift-free using a finger, gloved hand, or soft stylus. Pure glass construction allows high light transmission without compromising durability or functionality.
