Outdoor touch screen kiosk for public environments

PCAP interactive foils laminate to the back of a glass screen to convert it into a touch-sensitive surface. PCAP foils are ideal for touch screen kiosks for a number of reasons:

  • PCAP foils work through thick glass: Glass can be 10 millimetres thick to protect the LCD screen from accidental and deliberate damage. Foils are ideal for vandal-proof touch screens in public areas.
