Visitors to the Sydney Olympic Park will have the benefit of Zytronic projected touch sensors to navigate their way around the park, according to a press release.

Cue Design Production teamed with media partner oOh!media to develop double-sided outdoor interactive wayfinders supported by Zytronic's technology partner JEA Technologies. The partners produced Australia's first 75-inch outdoor display fitted with an all-weather, vandal-resistant Zytronic 49-inch ZyBrid touch sensor on the front, enabling users to interact with D2P's wayfinding software.

The custom-designed touch sensor incorporates infrared and UV filters to help protect the underlying high brightness display from solar damage. It also has an antiglare etched finish that, together, allow the totems to be used and operate in Sydney's summers, with some days hitting temperatures of over 45 degrees Centigrade.
