Outdoor touch screen kiosk for public environments

PCAP interactive foils laminate to the back of a glass screen to convert it into a touch-sensitive surface. PCAP foils are ideal for touch screen kiosks for a number of reasons:

PCAP foils work through thick glass: Glass can be 10 millimetres thick to protect the LCD screen from accidental and deliberate damage. Foils are ideal for vandal-proof touch screens in public areas.
VisualPlanet’s foils are tested in heavy rain and extreme temperatures: VisualPlanet’s Touchfoil^TM can be used with enclosures rated up to IP68. The foil works reliably in wet weather and in temperatures from -10°C to +60°C. Your outdoor touch screen kiosk will work reliably all year, delivering the maximum return on investment.
PCAP foils work through gloved hands: People can use a PCAP touch screen in winter. You benefit from maximum use of the outdoor touch screen kiosk in all weather.
VisualPlanet’s products allow you to create unique displays: VisualPlanet manufactures PCAP sensors in bespoke shapes and sizes. VisualPlanet works with leading glass manufacturers to supply flat and curved glass. You can create distinctive and attractive touch screen displays that encourage maximum user engagement.
