3M announces Multi-touch Developer Kit availability
3M Touch Systems has announced a ‘true multi-touch' LCD developer kit that tracks up to 10 individual fingers and is compatible with the Microsoft Windows 7 platform.
The 3M Multi-touch Developer Kit is a 19-inch wide-aspect ratio LCD display featuring 3M Projected Capacitive touch technology. Supporting standard flick and scale gestures, as well as accurately tracking 10 individual fingers from single or multiple users, this display has a durable glass surface and less than 15 milliseconds touch response, making it ideal for developing next generation games and user applications.
"This is an exciting new milestone in the evolution of touch screen functionality," says Paolo Pedrazzoli, marketing operations manager, 3M Touch Systems. "The chance to fulfill the promise of true multi-touch functionality has been long awaited by software developers and the demand has been fuelled by the upcoming release of Windows 7. Our new multi-touch developer kit now presents them with a projected capacitive hardware platform that can be used to build next-generation software applications for a new dimension of user interactivity."
