Techart Group, a Taiwan design, installation and software provider, recently deployed Zytronic's 43-inch glass touch sensor and ZXY500 multi-touch controller that supports object recognition to create an interactive touch table for an updated agritech display at Taiwan's National Science and Technology Museum, according to a press release.

The combination of Zytronic's proprietary touch controllers and large format touch sensors with integrated object recognition capability, together with Techart Group's interactive software, has delivered an immersive, multi-user experience.

Zytronic proposed a multi-touch sensor with integrated object recognition capability built into the associated touch controller's firmware. When used in touch tables, object recognition technology provides a way for the user to engage with the touchscreen using a physical "artefact" with each object linked to different content displayed on the screen.

Techart Group selected a ZyBrid 43-inch glass touch sensor combined with a Zytronic ZXY500 multi-touch controller that supports object recognition and up to 100 independent touch points while delivering millisecond quick responses. In addition, the specified glass featured an anti-glare finish to reduce the direct reflection of overhead lighting, and create a smooth, low stiction experience as users' fingers move over the touchscreen surface.

Zytronic also prepared and supplied a set of detectable and individualized puck-like objects so that Techart Group could develop its software content using Zytronic's application program interface to recognize and react appropriately when each artefact is placed on the surface of the touch table.
