Single touch specification

We make large format interactive touchfoils from 30” up to a massive 167” that can be applied to any non-metallic surface.

Specification

Tail and controller board

technical diagram

The visualplanet touchfoil can be manufactured with the tail and controller board positioned either along the long edge or the side edge of the touch active area.

technical diagram

The strip leading up to the electronic controller board from the active area is known as the tail. The tail has a minimum length of 25 mm, but visualplanet can manufacture the touchfoil with tail lengths that can meet your installation requirements. The main benefit of this is the ability to conceal the electronic control board so that it is totally hidden from the user’s view.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation



* Double Glazing - in this mode we recommend only touch, not the touch
and drag function. The drag function is limited due to the reduction of the scan
rate to achieve the touch function through thicker materials due to the variation
in double construction glass Visual Planet recommend testing with a foil
during the survey of each individual site since it is impossible to guarantee
the foil will function in all cases.
