IR screens are widely used in public spaces such as information kiosks, ticket machines, and payment terminals. The technology is vandal-proof because the glass does not contain any touch-sensitive components. This makes them ideal for intensive and unattended use.
In industrial environments, reliability and operation with gloves are essential. Infrared touchscreens are insensitive to dust and dirt on the screen and can be operated with any type of glove. This makes them ideal for HMI panels and control rooms.
Large interactive whiteboards in classrooms and meeting rooms often use infrared technology. This technique is cost-effective for large formats and offers accurate multi-touch, allowing multiple users to write or draw simultaneously.
The ability to operate screens with gloves and insensitivity to liquids make IR touchscreens suitable for medical devices. High optical clarity is crucial for the clear display of medical data, while the robust design is easy to clean.
Because touch detection takes place at the edge of the screen, the glass surface is highly scratch-resistant. The system continues to function even if the glass sustains minor damage, which increases its service life and reliability in demanding environments.
A major advantage of IR technology is that it registers any opaque interruption of the light beams. This allows the screen to be operated with a bare finger, a gloved hand, or a stylus, offering maximum flexibility in various scenarios.
Since no additional layers are required on the screen glass for touch functionality, light transmission is not impeded. This results in superior image quality, with maximum brightness and color accuracy, which is essential for visual applications.
Modern infrared touchscreens easily support multi-touch, often with 10 or more simultaneous touch points. This enables intuitive gestures such as zooming and rotating, which improves the user experience in interactive applications and on digital whiteboards.
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.
