Tyco Electronics Elo Touchsystems To Show Wide Range Of Touch Solutions At International Gaming Expo 2010

December 2009 - A wide range of innovative touch solutions for gaming applications will be exhibited by Elo TouchSystems at the annual International Gaming Expo (IGE) in London, UK, January 26 28, 2010.

From a global leader in touch technology comes a new technology that has achieved the “Compatible with Windows 7®” logo. IntelliTouch Plus surface acoustic wave touch technology expands the industry leading Elo TouchSystems portfolio by giving OEMs, application developers and customers new tools to leverage the distinct advantages of the Windows 7 touch interface.
 
The new Elo TouchSystems IntelliTouch Plus touch technology has met all the Additional Qualification (AQ) testing requirements established by Microsoft Corp. for Windows 7 multi touch interactivity. IntelliTouch Plus touch technology is based upon proven surface acoustic wave technology with over 20 years of reliable performance and millions of installations around the world.  It accurately records two simultaneous touch locations anywhere on the screen with three axes of touch information thereby overcoming many of the drawbacks of other multi touch technologies, such as camera based optical that are subject to interferences from ambient light variances and false touches.  With this latest approval, Elo customers can trust they have the same reliable performance for their touchmonitors that they have come to expect with the standard single touch IntelliTouch touch technology.
 
Elo will also be featuring its newest touch technology ideal for sport betting where pens are sometimes preferred to activate the touchscreen. All-glass acoustic pulse recognition (APR) touch technology uniquely supports pens, fingernails and credit cards in addition to normal touch input, unlike capacitive and surface acoustic wave technology and without the plastic layer of resistive technology

Also on show will be the new 1919L widescreen touchmonitor offering an 18.5in diagonal 16:9 aspect ratio display. The 1919L with APR offers a robust touch solution as described for sport betting where other touch technologies have been found wanting. Its pure glass construction provides superior optical performance with scratch and mark resistance to pens. Its stylish “zero-bezel” flat glass surface to the edges also ensures an easy-to-clean screen unlike typical touchmonitors with bezels.

Tyco Electronics’ Elo TouchSystems is exhibiting on stand number 3444.
