Turn your TV into an interactive touchscreen

An infrared touch frame is an external kit that you place over an existing television or monitor to make it touch-sensitive. The frame creates an invisible grid of infrared light. When you touch the screen, this light is interrupted, detecting the position of the touch. Through a USB connection, this information is sent to a computer, which translates the touch into a mouse action. This is a cost-effective way to create a large touch screen for presentations, teaching or interactive installations.

Education and Presentations

Education and Presentations

Transform a standard TV into an interactive whiteboard for classrooms and meeting rooms. This solution is ideal for delivering dynamic presentations, taking notes directly on the screen and increasing interaction. Teachers and speakers can use it to better hold audience attention and explain complex topics visually and interactively.

Interactive Kiosks

Use a converted TV as an affordable information point or kiosk in public spaces such as museums, stores or trade shows. Visitors can independently navigate floor plans, browse product catalogs or request information. The large, interactive interface makes it an accessible and user-friendly solution for digital signage and self-service applications.

Collaborative Workstations

Turn a large screen in an office environment into a digital collaboration board. This allows teams to collectively brainstorm, visualize project plans and edit documents directly on the screen. This promotes creativity and efficiency during meetings and workshops because everyone can contribute and interact directly with the shared digital content.

Gaming and Entertainment

Use the large touchscreen for immersive gaming experiences, especially for games optimized for touch controls. In addition, it can serve as a giant tablet for navigating media libraries, surfing the Web or using creative drawing and music apps. This makes it a versatile centerpiece for interactive home entertainment.

Infrared Technology

The frame uses infrared (IR) technology to detect touch. A network of LEDs and phototransistors creates an invisible light curtain. A finger or stylus interrupts these rays, then the coordinates of the touch are accurately calculated. This method is reliable and insensitive to the state of the screen surface.

Easy DIY Installation

The overlay is designed as a kit that is easy to assemble yourself without specialized tools. The parts snap together and the complete frame is attached to the edge of the television with the included double-sided tape. This allows almost anyone to quickly convert a standard screen into an interactive display.

Plug-and-Play Connectivity

It connects to a computer via a single USB cable. In most modern operating systems, such as Windows, the device is automatically recognized as an HID (Human Interface Device). This usually eliminates the need for separate drivers and makes installation quick and hassle-free.

Wide Compatibility

This technology is compatible with virtually any flat-screen TV or monitor, regardless of brand or underlying display technology (LCD, LED, 4K). As long as the physical dimensions match the frame, any screen can be upgraded. This provides a flexible and universal solution for adding touch functionality.
