Matrox, 3M collaborate for multitouch display driver

November 20, 2013

Matrox Graphics Inc. and 3M Touch Systems announced that both companies have validated a new 3M touch driver that will support multitouch functionality across two, three or more 3M Multi-touch Displays powered by a variety of Matrox multimonitor products.

Integrators can now pair Matrox products with 3M Multi-touch Displays to create interactive digital signage and collaborative video walls that span multiple displays, without the need for touch overlays or licensing fees, according to a news release. Applications include interactive kiosks, wayfinding, retail and exhibit display walls, as well as collaborative multipanel classroom, boardroom, and command and control installations.

"Many of our customers in retail, exhibit, and digital signage markets are seeking to create high-impact and memorable interactive user experiences for their customers by expanding the touch interface beyond a single display," said Ian Kimball, Americas marketing manager, Touch Systems, 3M Electronic Solutions Division. "This newly-enabled functionality lets customers easily optimize multi-touch performance across multiple screens, which is ideal for multi-user collaborative applications."
