Overlays are used to transform standard monitors into self-service kiosks for providing information, selling tickets, or wayfinding in public spaces. This makes it possible to create interactive terminals for retail, museums, or events in an affordable way, allowing visitors to independently request information or carry out transactions.
Static digital advertisements or information boards become interactive with a touch overlay. Users can interact directly with the content displayed, such as browsing products or requesting details. This increases audience engagement in stores, lobbies, and at trade shows, thereby increasing the impact of the message.
In factory or control environments, existing screens can be equipped with robust touch overlays for Human-Machine Interface (HMI) operation. Technologies such as resistive or infrared enable operation with gloves, which is essential for industrial processes. This is an efficient upgrade for machine control.
Classrooms and meeting rooms can convert existing large screens or projection screens into interactive whiteboards. This promotes collaboration and makes presentations more dynamic. It is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing expensive, integrated smartboards, while offering the same interactive functionality.
This widely used technology works with a glass layer and a conductive coating that responds to the electrical charge of a finger. Capacitive overlays are highly accurate, support multi-touch gestures such as zooming and swiping, and provide a clear and sharp image. They are the standard for most modern touch applications.
A resistive overlay consists of two flexible layers that make contact when pressure is applied. This type responds to any type of touch, including fingers, a stylus, or a gloved hand. This makes them ideal for environments where precision or wearing gloves is required, such as in industry or point-of-sale systems.
IR technology uses a frame with infrared LEDs and sensors that create an invisible light grid across the screen. A touch interrupts this grid and is registered immediately. This method is very durable, is not affected by scratches on the screen, and is highly scalable for very large displays and video walls.
The upgrade is designed for ease of use. The process involves cleaning the screen, carefully placing the overlay, and connecting the USB cable. After installing the accompanying driver software, the system is immediately ready for use and the monitor is recognized by the computer as a full-fledged touchscreen.
At Dytos, we understand that each industry has specific requirements for touch solutions. That's why we offer a wide range of products and services designed to meet these diverse needs.
