Desktop Displays: 3M Launches Multi-Touch Sensor Technology and SDK

  • 3M Touch Systems has created sensors and related software for hardware developers to incorporate into products.
  • The company is demonstrating applications that other companies have built based on 3M’s technology, including multi-user solutions.
  • Two multi-touch monitors – 18.5- and 21.5-inch display sizes – are currently available offering 20 simultaneous touches at 6 millisecond response time and HD graphics powered by LED backlights.
  • The displays are Windows 7 compatible. Drivers are available for Windows XP, Linux and Mac operating systems.
  • 3M says it will have sensors capable of monitoring 60-inch 16:9 surfaces by the end of 2012, and expects licensees to be marketing them in products at that time.
  • The 3M online press kit features a 3-minute video demo.
