METHUEN, Mass. — 3M Touch Systems Inc. announced in a news release the large format 32-inch MicroTouch ClearTek II touchscreen and the expansion of its industry-proven ClearTek capacitive touchscreen product line. Available immediately, this ClearTek II touchscreen is the latest addition to 3M Touch Systems' series of large-format ClearTek touch solutions, ranging from 24-inch to 32-inch display sizes. Larger-sized displays enable casino game manufacturers to design the next generation of large format slot machines and casino operators to provide eye-catching and dynamic interactive applications for their guests.
"3M is committed to delivering innovative solutions to meet the emerging requirements of the gaming industry," said Terry Jones, general manager, 3M Touch Systems. "As interest grows for large format touch displays in casino games and hospitality applications, 3M recognizes the opportunity to provide new solutions for all venues within the casino operation."
The result of extensive research and development, the 32-inch ClearTek II touchscreen is designed specifically to meet the stringent physical and functional requirements of large format, portrait-mode slot machines and complements the recently announced 40-inch Dispersive Signal Technology product as another ideal solution for the emerging large-format digital signage needs of casinos. The optimized optics of ClearTek II, "smoother-than-glass" touch sensation, extreme reliability and high endurance are the critical features with which this large format touchscreen is built.
"Our large-format touch solutions continue 3M's strong tradition of innovation," said Larry Loerch, global marketing manager for 3M Touch Systems. "These large-format offerings are ideally suited to satisfy the needs of casino managers — both on hospitality applications for interactive signage and point of information, and gaming applications for emerging slot machine designs — while delivering easy integration and more flexibility in order to enable creative applications."
