1. What are infrared sensors?
Infrared sensors provide reliable multi-touch functionality by detecting touch through invisible infrared light beams. When a light beam is interrupted by a touch, the system detects the position of the touch point and enables direct interaction with the surface. The key advantage is the ability to add touch functionality to a wide range of displays and interactive installations.
2. How does infrared touch technology work?
With infrared technology, invisible infrared light beams surround the interactive surface. When a person touches the surface, the light beams are interrupted and the touch is detected. This creates precise and reliable touch functionality without requiring the actual display surface to have an integrated touch technology.
3. How many touch points can be detected simultaneously?
Depending on the configuration, the infrared sensors support 2, 6, 10, 32 or up to 40 simultaneous touch points. This allows several people to interact with an interactive surface at the same time. Especially for large displays, touch tables and interactive installations, this enables a natural and collaborative user experience.
4. What display sizes are infrared sensors suitable for?
The sensors are available for display sizes from 20 to 500 inches and can be used at a maximum height of up to 4 metres. Custom sizes are also possible. This makes the technology suitable for both smaller interactive displays and very large touch applications and customised installations.
5. Which displays and projection systems can be used with the sensors?
Infrared sensors can be used with LCD, LED and plasma displays as well as projection systems. This provides a high degree of flexibility when planning and implementing interactive applications. Existing displays and projection surfaces can therefore be easily upgraded with modern touch functionality.
6. Is regular calibration required?
No. The infrared sensors allow one-time calibration without drift. Once installed, the touch detection remains stable without requiring regular recalibration. This ensures reliable operation while also reducing maintenance requirements.
7. Which operating systems are supported?
The infrared touch technology supports Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS and Linux. In addition, the sensors are HID-compatible for sizes up to 120 inches. This allows the technology to be integrated flexibly into different hardware and software environments.
8. What does HID support mean for infrared sensors?
HID support enables particularly simple communication between the touch sensor and a compatible computer system. The sensors can be used with HID support for sizes up to 120 inches. The advantage is straightforward integration, as the touch functionality can be recognised by the system in a similar way to a conventional input device.
9. What is TUIO and is it supported?
TUIO is a protocol used to transmit information about touches and other interactions with interactive surfaces. The infrared sensors support TUIO, allowing them to be integrated into applications that use this protocol. This expands the possible applications, particularly for customised interactive installations and professional multi-touch applications.
10. Where can infrared sensors be used?
The possible applications are highly versatile and include trade shows and events, conference rooms, visitor information systems, interactive mirrors, touch overlays, touch tables and touch video walls. With support for large formats, numerous simultaneous touch points and different display technologies, the solution is suitable for a wide range of interactive applications.
