“This is an exciting new milestone in the evolution of touch screen functionality,” says Paolo Pedrazzoli, marketing operations manager, 3M Touch Systems. “The chance to fulfill the promise of true multi-touch functionality has been long awaited by software developers and the demand has been fuelled by the upcoming release of Windows 7. Our new multi-touch developer kit now presents them with a projected capacitive hardware platform that can be used to build next-generation software applications for a new dimension of user interactivity.”
The 3M Multi-touch Developer Kit includes the 19-inch wide-aspect ratio (16:10, 1440 x 900 resolution) LCD chassis display, desktop stand, USB and VGA cables, plus access to the password secure 3M Multi-touch Developer Program site for firmware updates, on-line technical support, and hosted developer forum.
