Touch Screens on Glass Windows - engage your customers with an interactive experience

Sept. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Our society has been programmed with the Burger King – “have it your way” mentality and if you don’t give them what they want they are quite confident that there is someone out there willing to provide them with the experience they are looking for and will move on just that quick. Going interactive with your in-store or storefront marketing efforts will put you right in the center of their world and communication styles, also providing them the opportunity to interact and tell friends and their social network about your store, products and experience right from your location.

Touch screens are available in several different technology types but the one we are covering in this article is Thru Glass interactive touch foils http://ssidisplays.com/products/touch-screens that are used in conjunction with Projection Screen Displays, LCD, LED and Plasma digital screens; turning any content that can be clicked on, activated or controlled with a mouse (websites, programs, games, software, apps, etc.)  into content that can be controlled by the touch of your finger.

This technology is great for retail and many other uses in that it allows the common man or customer to interact with your digital signage without ever coming in contact with the display, touch screen, projector or computer…..all of these are safe and secure behind the glass (inside the store). A Capacitive touch screen foil is designed to be applied to a rigid substrate such as a storefront glass window; you would install the touch screen foil to the inside of the glass with an application liquid – this part of the process usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Once the touch screen is applied to the glass typically you should wait about 24 hours and then return to complete the installation of projection film.
Now that you are ready to install the adhesive rear projection film http://ssidisplays.com/products/projection-films go ahead and apply it to the back of the touch foil that is on the window and squeegee out the application liquid.

The touch screen has a PCB connection device typically located on the bottom of the foil itself, this connects to a computer with the supplied USB cable. The computer sends the signal to the projector and is the liaison between your finger and the projector; literally controlling the content stored on the computer.

At this point you are ready to turn on the projector and begin the calibration process which is as easy as opening up the software and touching 3 circles in the corners of the displays (remember you will be on the front side of the glass at this point).

Now you have your very own interactive storefront display that can be used for advertising, promotion, marketing, list building and customer relationship development.

In addition you may want to consider adding an additional film to your new thru glass interactive storefront touch screen display to add to the image quality, clarity and marketing effectiveness; Anti-Reflection Film is placed on the outside of the glass storefront window and designed to near eliminate completely any reflection from the glass itself.

Should you be placing an interactive touch screen in an environment that is not environmentally perfect we recommend you look into a projector enclosure that acts as a protector and removes contaminates while extending bulb life and efficiency. learn more at http://ssidisplays.com/products/projector-enclosures or http://www.projectorenclosure.com
