FlatFrog adds gesture recognition to its multitouch technology and touch support for curved screens

The Swedish manufacturer of multitouch systems FlatFrog has taken advantage of its participation in Computex 2014 to show their advances in multitouch interfaces for displays, that integrate gesture recognition, and touch support for curved screens.

FlatFrog has integrated gesture recognition technology into its multi-touch screen system, that allows users to dynamically interact with the display, both close and at a distance.

This innovation in user interfaces and multitouch screens from the Swedish manufacturer can currently be tested at the Computex fair 2014, which is celebrated until 7 June in Taipei (Taiwan), as well as at SID Display Week, until the 6 June in San Diego (USA)

Gesture recognition interface is integrated behind the FlatFrog In-glass Touch multi-touch module, located on the edges of the glass screen, with minimal changes in its final design. As FlatFrog points out, “in the same way that the touch on the screen was a leap forward in user interaction, “The combination of touch and gestures is the next step in the evolution of touch displays.”.

Another innovation that the company presents is touch support for curved screens, with touch-detecting technology that transmits light into the glass lens cover, regardless of its shape or inclination, with perfect optical clarity.

The company estimates that the use of curved screens, that reduce glare reflections and reproduce color with greater quality, in addition to offering better readability, will be adopted not only on television screens, but on monitors, PCs, tablets, etc.

Para Dhwani Vyas, CEO of FlatFrog, “The latest achievements with our In-glass Touch technology demonstrate that it is superior to projected capacitive technology in terms of flexibility and support for new user interface functions for the PC and large display market. “FlatFrog Touch enables affordable screen size scaling and easy integration of new features.”.

The design of FlatFrog ZG touch screens, up to 65”, has been expanded to reach 20”, with versions from two touches to more than forty simultaneous touches, “to perfectly adapt to high-resolution computer and monitor screens, interactive flat panels,… used in educational applications, digital signage, companies, etc”.
