Standalone touch screen-based products such as ATMs, kiosks, factory automation and gaming / casino units must perform unattended and under extreme conditions.  High tolerance for sunlight, dust, liquids, rough handling, and extreme temperatures requires characteristics traditionally not provided by today's touch screen technologies.

Using F-Origin's force-based  zTouch™ technology in products, such as  ATMs / Kiosks / Gaming applications provides features such as:

• more durable and membrane-free user input surfaces and industry leading clarity;

• allow for multiple input items (e.g. keys, gloves, credit card, finger, pens, etc.);

• continual calibration filters out environmental conditions (e.g. rain, ice, snow, etc.)

• extreme durability with zero calibration or membrane-related service calls;

• use a variety of cleaning materials and processes without risk of damage;
  operation within a wide temperature range;

• perform enhanced functions based on varying force input;
  significantly reduced false touches;

• high design flexibility in terms of material used for the touch surface,  such as glass, plastic, stainless steel, etc.

• application-specific and user-specific programmable user input.

• zTouch™ technology allows greater design flexibility bezel or bezel-less design, lens shape and material, even allowing Braille etched into lens surfaces.
