Custom size touch screen overlay for public interactive displays

PCAP touch screen overlays convert an ordinary glass surface into a touch screen. When laminated to the back of a glass screen, the PCAP overlay senses when a finger touches the glass, creating an engaging, interactive experience.

As a leading manufacturer of custom size touch screen overlays, VisualPlanet provides interactive foils in a range of shapes and sizes. PCAP foils can be manufactured for any purpose:

Gaming machines

Touch screen overlays can be applied to curved glass to create interactive gaming machines. Curved glass displays attract players and increase customer engagement. VisualPlanet’s touch screens are highly reliable, which decreases downtime and prevents lost revenue.

Interactive wayfinding

Cities, tourist areas and shopping centres can benefit from custom size touch foils for wayfinding. Choose the exact size foil you need to display an interactive map for visitors. PCAP screens work through gloved hands, so visitors can use the screen in cold weather.

Self-service ticket machines

VisualPlanet’s touch foil is ideal for vandal-proof touch screens in bus and train stations. PCAP foils work through glass up to 10 millimetres thick, so your LCD screen is secure.

Interactive shop windows

VisualPlanet can provide large format touch screen displays for shop windows. Interactive shop windows increase customer engagement, boost brand awareness and generate revenue for your business.

VisualPlanet’s touch foil is available in dual and multi-touch options. The multi-touch foil senses up to 32 simultaneous touches, allowing several people to use the screen at the same time.

Interactive digital signage

Use PCAP touch foils to create attractive outdoor digital signage. Touch screen overlays use a UV protection layer to prevent damage to the LCD screen from the sun.

VisualPlanet’s touch foils are extensively tested in heavy rain and work in hot and cold weather. Custom size touch screen overlays are ideal for interactive digital signage in all locations.

Industrial touch screens

VisualPlanet’s touch screen foil is durable and reliable. The foil is mounted behind a glass screen, so it is never directly touched. The foil does not get damaged by frequent use and is protected from water, dust and dirt.

PCAP foils work when the user is wearing gloves and are suitable for enclosures rated up to IP68. They are ideal for industrial environments.

Interactive vending machines

You can use custom size touch screen overlays to create interactive vending machines. Thick glass protects the LCD screen from vandals. The PCAP foil is reliable and long-lasting to reduce downtime and maximise your return on investment.
