| Compatible with all common operating systems | USB plug-and-play, no installation of drivers necessary |
| Can be used with both displays and rear-projection | Works through almost all types of glass, including triple glazing up to 40 mm thick |
| Customized symbol fields can be glued to the window from the inside | Alternatively, the key-assignment can be displayed dynamically in the display area |
With our StoreFrontControl, existing displays in the shop window can be equipped with touch. The difference to a touchscreen is that you do not navigate directly in the monitor area. Instead, you control individual sensor fields, which you can place anywhere around the display.
Alternatively, the StoreFrontControl can be partially positioned in front of the display, between shop window and display.
The StoreFrontControl is extremely easy to install: just fix it on the inside of your shop window and connect it to the computer (mini PC or media player) with the supplied USB cable.
There are no limits to the design of your digital shop window. Custom designed adhesive foil with symbol fields can be stuck onto the inside of the window. It has cutouts for each sensor-field.
You decide how many of the 6 sensor fields of your StoreFrontControl you want to be active and you determine the key-assignment (right, left, enter…). In order to use the SFC with less sensor fields, there would not be any cutouts planned in the adhesive foil for these.
1. What is StoreFrontControl?
StoreFrontControl is a touch solution that allows screens to be operated through shop window glass. It is designed specifically for applications where conventional touchscreens cannot be operated directly due to the glass.
2. Can StoreFrontControl work through thick shop window glass?
Yes. StoreFrontControl can operate through almost all common types of glass, including double and triple glazing with a thickness of up to 40 mm. This means that even thick shop window glazing can be used for interactive applications.
3. Can StoreFrontControl be retrofitted to existing displays?
Yes. The system can be retrofitted to existing displays or installed on the inside of the shop window. Existing displays can therefore be upgraded without replacing the entire system.
4. Can StoreFrontControl be used with rear projection?
Yes. StoreFrontControl can be used with both conventional displays and rear-projection systems. This provides greater flexibility when planning interactive shop window installations.
5. How does StoreFrontControl detect touch through glass?
StoreFrontControl uses individually defined sensor fields to detect touches on the glass surface and transmit the corresponding input to the display. Touch commands can therefore be positioned precisely where they are needed.
6. Can individual touch areas or buttons be defined?
Yes. Individual symbol fields can be applied to the inside of the glass. Alternatively, the assignment of the touch areas can be displayed dynamically within the screen area. This allows the touch interface to be adapted to the content and application.
7. Which operating systems are compatible with StoreFrontControl?
StoreFrontControl is compatible with all common operating systems and connects via USB using plug-and-play functionality. No additional driver installation is required, making the system quick and easy to integrate into existing IT environments.
8. Can StoreFrontControl be used for interactive shop windows?
Yes. StoreFrontControl is specifically suited to interactive shop window applications, including installations with thick glazing. Customers can interact with digital content directly through the shop window without having to touch the display itself.
9. Where can StoreFrontControl be mounted?
The system can be installed on the inside of a shop window or retrofitted to an existing display. The sensor fields can be individually positioned according to the requirements of the application, allowing the installation to be adapted to different shop window layouts.
10. What are the main advantages of StoreFrontControl?
StoreFrontControl enables touch operation through thick glass, supports displays and rear projection, offers flexible sensor positioning and uses USB plug-and-play connectivity. It provides a flexible way to create interactive shop windows without requiring customers to touch the display directly.
11. What versions of StoreFrontControl are available?
StoreFrontControl is available as a sensor bar with six sensor fields. StoreFrontControl Pads also offers a set consisting of three individual buttons and an SFC controller, which can be expanded to include up to eight buttons. The cable length for each button can be customized.
