Multi touch foil

When applied to a glass surface, projected capacitive (PCAP) foil uses electrical signals to detect the touch of a finger. Mount the glass onto a standard LCD screen to turn it into an interactive display. Up to 32 touches can be sensed at the same time, creating an engaging and sociable experience like no other.

Robust, waterproof, and suitable for enclosures rated up to IP68, the multi touch foil can be used in any weather condition. Whether it’s hot, cold, wet, or dry, you benefit from maximum ROI anytime, anywhere.

VisualPlanet’s Touchfoiltm is ideal for the following applications:

Gaming machines – Whether it’s for a flat or curved gaming machine, multi touch foil makes playing games more fun and interactive. This increases the time spent on each machine and boosts your ROI.

Vending machines – People no longer need to press buttons to order what they want from a vending machine. Touch screen foil improves customer experience, enabling you to upsell in the process.

Retail displays – Interactive retail displays create better customer engagement and enable customers to shop outside of opening hours. They also create more space for advertising, meaning you can constantly upsell on products or services.

Self-service ticket machines – The rugged and robust touch film is protected from vandalism and accidental damage. This makes it ideal for transport hubs in which ticket machines are at risk.

Wayfinders – Touch screen wayfinding kiosks can be used in shopping centres and cities to help people find locations. PCAP touch foil helps people find their way in all weather conditions.
