3M to Present the Path to Full Multi-touch Development at Kiosk Europe Expo
Multi-touch will be the key focus on Stand 3F.11 at Kiosk Europe Expo, 15-17 June 2010, Messe Essen, Germany. Diversified technology company 3M will present the tremendous and immediate opportunity for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to support full multi-touch capabilities in their next generation applications using its 22-inch Multi-Touch LCD desktop displays.
3Mâ€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.
MicroTouch Capacitive TouchSense (MCT) System from 3M
A 19-inch MCT System Display will also be on the stand. Featuring tactile feedback, the MCT Display enables gaming designers to integrate a range of touch sensations – from simple clicks and variations in resistance to pulses or vibrations – in their original gaming machines or after-market retrofit machines.
Dispersive Signal Technology (DST) Display
Alongside this will be a 40-inch display screen featuring the MicroTouch DST2270DX System from 3M. The DST2270DX System is available in sizes from 32-inch to 46-inch and is ideal for interactive digital signage applications where fast and accurate touch is required.
LCD Monitors, Sensors and Controllers
Additionally, 3M will exhibit 15-inch and 17-inch Desktop and Chassis Touch Monitors designed to meet the needs of kiosk manufacturers. A range of touch sensors and controllers will be displayed alongside, including the MicroTouch SCT3240CX System from 3M for small devices using 5.7-inch to 15-inch LCD displays and the MicroTouch SCT7650EX System from 3M for rugged ATM, kiosk, and vending machine applications.
