1. OPTIR Touch is optical infrared touch screen which is
based on a scanning infrared technology manufactured with new innovative
design. Each touch screen is made with a pair of transmitter and
receiver. When a finger or other object is inside of the active area,
the infrared light beam is blocked and a touch position can thus be
detected.
2. KEYTEC'S patent pending innovative design can divide the
traditional sensor (transmitter and receiver) board into smaller segments.
Assemble an OPTIR Touch is similar to playing the Lego blocks, that is why
it can be assembled into different sizes and aspect ratio.
3. The current largest size is 2275.2 x 1286 mm (89.6" x
50.6") active area, which can be used on 103" 16:9 display.
4. The smallest segment is 161.2 mm (6.35"), so the smallest
OPTIR Touch should be 161.2 x 161.2 (6.35' x 6.35") active area.
However, it is not cost effective to use this model for small size. If
you need small OPTIR Touch (10.4 to 22'), please
contact us.
5. In the past when something sticks on IR touch screen, the
cursor will be "locked" in that place and causing malfunction. This
problem has been solved with the intelligent driver which can ignore such a
"permanent" touch after about 5 seconds and release the mouse cursor to
respond the touch in other area.
6. Current OPTIR Touch model can work outdoors under a
cover, but it may develop malfunction under direct sunlight. A new
model is being developed for using under sunlight and will be available for
testing. Please
contact us if you have such need.
7. The standard model is not waterproof, but it can resist
to light splash of water. We may modify and seal the frame to make it
waterproof, but it may not be suitable for using in deep water.
8. OPTIR Touch can be used without backing glass as the
glass is not a functional part of the touch screen. However, the glass
provides a surface that prevents the finger from penetrating too deep
through the active area. If the user's finger goes too far, then
he/she needs to make sure to lift the finger out of the active area before
the next touch can be recognized as a click instead of a drag. A piece
of glass helps to ensure the user friendly performance of the touch screen
and also provides protection to the display.
9. We use temper glass and we also suggest the customers who
do their own assembly use temper glass for safety concerns. Temper
glass still can be broken under high impact, but it will break into small
cubes so it is much safer than regular glass.
10. Yes, the backing glass can be replaced by plastics, but
it may require thicker plastics to provide enough rigidity like glass.
11. OPTIR Touch is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.
12. We provide mouse emulation driver, so our touch screen
can work with any mouse driven program. Software developers only need
to write a standard mouse-driven program without using a special software
development kit. We are, however, preparing a software development kit
for Windows 7 multi touch application to avoid potential malfunction.
13. Currently, all the OPTIR Touch models are external
add-on overlays. We are researching the suitable monitors that provide
enough space for integration.
14. Absolutely, OPTIR Touch can be used on front or rear
projection screens.
15. As long as the TV has PC input, then you can use OPTIR
Touch on the TV when it is connected to a computer and used as computer
monitor.
16. OPTIR Touch can be used in portrait mode.
17. OPTIR Touch can support dual touch (two points) under
Windows 7. Please refer to
Check
compatibility with Windows 7 touch enabled programs.
18. Yes, a multi monitor driver
is included.
19. When one OPTIR Touch is set directly on top of another
one (or next to each other), the infrared beams transmitted from the top
screen may reach to the receivers in the bottom screen, thus cause
malfunction. The solution is turning the bottom screen 180-degree
(upside down), so the infrared beams from the two screens will not interfere
with each other.
20. No, you only need to calibrate it once unless the
screen has been moved. |
