HoloTouch adds relay output

July 27, 2005

DARIEN, Conn. - R. Douglas McPheters, president of HoloTouch Inc., and John Breitenbach, president of Atlantex Corp., announced in a news release that their fully functional touchless holographic interface, BeamOne, is now available with relay output, greatly extending the reach of HoloTouch patented technology to electronic equipment controlled, among other things, by programmable logic controllers. BeamOne already offers communication with PCs through USB, serial and other ports.

BeamOne projects 1-inch square floating holographic images of its "keys," several inches in front of the hardware. A standard PC sees BeamOne as a keyboard. This device is programmable and comes with all necessary software and the infrared sensors needed to detect an operator's interaction with its floating holographic images as well as free support.

"This advance demonstrates our commitment to bringing our innovative touchless actuation and control technology to an ever-widening variety of electronic equipment, including those sold in the automotive, banking, factory-floor, gaming, kiosk, leisure, medical, military, personal and home electronics and toy markets, to name just a few," said McPheters. "Since PLCs control electronic equipment in numerous industrial and other applications which do not require the sophistication of computer actuation and control, we expect this new offering will accelerate the adoption of HoloTouch patented technology in several important sectors, not the least of which is factory-floor equipment. We offer the holographic and opto-electronic design, engineering and manufacturing services needed to rapidly ramp up new products using HoloTouch as well as the possibility of licensing our technology for specific applications to manufacturers who recognize the value it can bring to their products."
