Other touch technologies

01

Resistive Technology

A valid option for specific industrial applications where multi-touch precision is not a priority.

Thick gloves and styluses Contained cost Machinery and instrumentation Dust and splashes

02

Infrared (IR) Technology

Ideal for large formats and installations where the sensor must not be in direct contact with the surface.

Large formats Interactive signage High mechanical durability

03

SAW Technology (Surface Acoustic Waves)

Excellent optical quality and high touch precision. Recommended for controlled indoor environments.

Good optical clarity Natural touch feel Controlled indoor environments

* Note on outdoor PCAP

Requires firmware tuning (software calibration) and glass with a UV/IR filter to be optimal, but it is the only one of the four that can withstand both rain and vandalism in an outdoor totem.
