Tyco Electronics has launched the Intellitouch Plus surface-acoustic-wave touch technology, which has achieved the 'Compatible with Windows 7' logo.The technology is designed to give OEMs, application developers and customers tools to leverage the advantages of the Windows 7 touch interface. The Elo Touchsystems Intellitouch Plus touch technology has met all the Additional Qualification (AQ) testing requirements established by Microsoft for Windows 7 multi-touch interactivity. Intellitouch Plus touch technology is based upon surface-acoustic-wave technology.
It accurately records two simultaneous touch locations anywhere on the screen with three axes of touch information, enabling it to overcome problems such as camera-based optical that are subject to interferences from ambient light variances and false touches. Intellitouch Plus multi-touch technology is available as screen components in sizes ranging from 17 to 32in for consumer touch monitors and all-in-one touch computers running Windows 7.
In addition, a 22in open-frame touch monitor will be available later in the year, enabling users to incorporate a multi-touch technology that is compatible with Windows 7.
