Building interactivity for large format displays is something that NextWindow specializes in and now, a new type of screen overlay aims to provide touch-screen technology for schools and offices which make use of these large screen LCDs.

These touch screen offer a mouse-like functionality where you can click, drag and double-click or right-click by touching the screen. These are some of the features that the NextWindow2700 has to offer which will incidentally be shown at InfoComm09 in Orlando as well.

The NextWindow 2700 is ideal for public-facing applications such as digital signage or directories located in shopping malls. Visitors in a mall might use their fingers to scroll through a list of retail stores, re-size windows to view a variety of content simultaneously, or click through product videos or other interactive media. The 2700 series also is a natural fit for business-office and classroom environments.

“The success of all-in-one PCs from HP, Dell and Apple has spawned a new generation of ‘touch screen-native’ consumers who simply expect computers of all shapes and sizes to be touch-enabled,” said Al Monro, CEO at NextWindow. “We are simply responding by giving the public what it wants.”
