Elo intros range of touch technology for gaming industry

September 24, 2013

Elo Touch Solutions has announced a portfolio of touchscreen platforms for the global gaming industry based on the Elo iTouch surface acoustic wave technology.

The broad range of Elo open-frame gaming touchscreens spans sizes from 12 to 32 inches in standard or widescreen aspect ratio. Elo's clear glass SAW technology preserves the picture quality of new games developed with full-HD graphics, meaning the touch display colors and clarity precisely match the non-touch display, the announcement said.

Single-touch or multi-touch interactive capabilities are available in a mini-bezel IntelliTouch or true flat iTouch zero-bezel design using surface acoustic wave touch technology or projected capacitive technology. Elo surface capacitive touchscreens can also lower maintenance costs of gaming machines already deployed by plugging directly into third-party touch controllers.

For applications beyond the gaming floor, the new Elo Tablet enables mobile operations and is built to withstand the rigors of public use while preserving the management, security and compatibility of Microsoft Windows, the announcement said. Elo interactive digital signage is designed for loyalty kiosk or directory wayfinding applications with screen sizes ranging from 32 to 70 inches with integrated computer modules.

"Elo is the players' choice for gaming touchscreens," said Craig Witsoe, CEO of Elo Touch Solutions. "Quality and reliability at a competitive price point is our reputation in the gaming industry as our interactive touch technology helps capture players' attention with thin, bright, colorful HD touch displays big enough to be noticed in a casino environment."
