Targeting software developers in digital
signage, CAD-CAM, computer gaming, security monitoring systems,
education and training applications
3M will present the new true multi-touch standard to a European
audience for the first time at CeBIT 2010, the world\'s foremost
tradeshow for the digital industry in Hannover, Germany, 2-6
March.
In Hall 14, Stand K50, 3M will exhibit its 22-inch Multi-Touch
LCD desktop displays designed for professional and prosumer
(professional consumer) applications that need up to 10-finger
touch input or multi-user interactivity with a very fast response
time.
“Our aim at CeBIT is to demonstrate the enormous potential
for integrating multi-touch capability in next-generation
systems and user applications among the European independent
software vendors and developers communities” said Francesco
Fasoglio, Business Development Manager EMEA, 3M Touch Systems.
“We are looking to establish new channel co-operations
with total solution providers capable of delivering an enhanced
value proposition to customers in new markets.”
3M’s M2256PW 22-inch desktop display supports up to 10-finger
touch input and advanced gesture capability, whereas most
traditional multi-touch technologies support only two-finger
touch and gestures. Utilising this new technology, software
developers are able to initiate a technological leap in the
way users interact with all types of information and to expand
traditional touch interaction to include multiple users and
increase collaboration.
Applications taking advantage of this high level of interactivity
include computer aided design, digital signage, computer gaming,
security monitoring systems, education and training, and videoconferencing
The M2256PW display features a high-definition 1680 x 1050
LCD screen, DVI and VGA video input, audio input, USB and
RS232 (serial) dual-mode communication protocol and durable,
anti-glare front surface. It is compatible with Windows 7,
so no third party touch drivers are required.
For Linux and Windows XP/Vista/7 operating systems, 3M plans
to offer a multi-touch driver and software utility, and will
offer communication protocol documents for customers who wish
to develop their own drivers.
3M Touch Systems provides innovative touchscreen technology
products to customers worldwide under the 3M and MicroTouch
brands. Popular single touch, gesture touch and multitouch
applications include casino gaming, retail point of sale,
foodservice, hospitality, self-service, industrial, healthcare
and interactive digital signage.
