So
tell me, what is a Touch Screen?
An obvious question
with an equally obvious answer you would expect, but....
The answer that you receive
may surprise you. Elo TouchSystems, the world's no. 1 provider
of Touch Solutions segment their products
into 3 distinct categories - Touch Screens, Touch
Monitors and Touch Computers. Add
to that the 9 different Touch Techologies available from Elo,
plus a comprehensive and versatile range of Touch PC's from
J2 Retail Systems, customised solutions from Tipro and you
have quite a comprehensive range of "Touch Screens"
available to you.
So, how to choose the most
appropriate Touch Solution for your requirements?
The first step is to decide
if you want a Touch Screen, i.e. do you want to fit a touch
kit in order to touch enable an existing device, a Touch Monitor,
i.e. a Monitor fitted with a touch kit which you want to attach
to a PC or other host device, or a Touch Computer, i.e. a
touch enabled standalone computer system.
Once you have established
the nature of the device, you should then determine the screen
size, followed by the correct Touch Technology to suit your
application - or the correct Touch Technology to suit the
application and then see what screen sizes are available.
Acoustic Pulse Recognition
(APR) is the latest, and therefore most current, Touch Technology
available from Elo. It is price competitive against the more
common resistive technologies such as Accutouch, yet delivers
the advantages and benefits usually only available through
more costly Touch Technologies such as CarrollTouch Infra-Red.
