ytronic, a leader in durable, high performance Projected Capacitive Technology (PCTTM and MPCTTM) touch sensors is demonstrating two new touch technologies that create
more compelling, immersive game playing experiences at G2E (Booth 5427). Its’ stand will feature a 55” touch table showing object recognition technology for the first time, as well as a curved touch screen featuring Zytronic’ new force sensing technology. Commenting, Ian Crosby, Vice-President of
Sales and Marketing at Zytronic, said, “Casinos are constantly innovating to create more exciting experiences for players. At G2E we are offering two compelling new ways for the user to interact with the touch screen and the games they control. We can integrate object recognition into capacitive touch screens of up to 85”. We believe that this is the first time that camera-free object recognition has been available on capacitive touch screens of this size. We are also
demonstrating force sensing allowing screens to differentiate between a hard and a soft touch, and react accordingly. These two new technologies create fantastic opportunities for game developers to be creative, draw in players and differentiate from the competition.” Zytronic will demonstrate Object Recognition
on a 55” touch table. The solution, developed in partnership with Tangible Displays, is based on the attachment of physical markers (Phymarks) to the objects – it does not require modification of the touch table hardware.
Non-conductive objects such as a pen or a bag left are ignored. The controller is programmed to recognise only specific Phymarks attached to an object, and respond accordingly. Zytronic sensors are well suited for touch tables; as they combine extreme resistance to severe impact, scratches, and liquid spillages, with immunity to accidental touch by a sleeve or glass, incorporating
advanced palm rejection functionality that only reacts to a finger or conductive stylus. A large concave bezel-free 40” multi-touch
screen will demonstrate force sensing. Force or pressure sensing is becoming popular on smartphones and tablets, and Zytronic is a pioneer in bringing it to gaming and other commercial touch screen applications. Using the technology, a preview window can be opened with a soft touch which opens fully with increased pressure. For blind or partially sighted players, a soft touch can trigger an audio confirmation of the selection, and increasing the force activates the choice. Both object recognition and force sensing functionality are implemented in the Zytronic touch controller firmware and higher level software and require no modification of the sensor hardware. Existing customers could retrofit existing touchscreens by simply installing the custom Zytronic firmware and adapting their application appropriately.
