Modular PCT Table

Version imprimable

Pyramid Computer showcased the first prototype of its 32-inch polytouch action table at ISE on the ‘polytouch world’ stand. The desk is constructed of semi-transparent white acrylic with an integrated multi touch PCT screen. The table is designed to attract crowds, which it proved itself more than capable of doing at ISE.
 
When located at the POS, the table can connect to the online world to facilitate multi-channel strategies such as cross-selling, product promotion applications and social network integration. It is also ideal for interactive business consultancy, sales assistance and gaming.
 
The table with integrated polytouch 32 system incorporates 150 programmable high-brightness LEDs and full HD 1920x1080 LCD screen, offering a wide viewing angle and non-reflective, solid glass surface. Integrated imagers permit objects or documents placed on the glass surface to be recognised and registered. The table offers the power of the latest generation of Intel processors with HD 2000 graphics, giving developers the creative freedom to incorporate advanced multi-user and 3D functionality.
 
The 22-inch model offers the same specifications as polytouch 32 but with a smaller screen size. Both are highly compact, frameless plug & play devices, making them flexible for use as standalone systems or for integration into counters, desks, totems or kiosks in any professional environment.
 
Polytouch 22 and polytouch 32 are the industry’s first all-in-one systems to feature Projected Capacitive Technology by 3M. 3M PCT can support 10 simultaneous touches at an ultra-fast 10 millisecond response time while rejecting palms, allowing developers to create a natural, intuitive and responsive user experience. Furthermore, owing to the high precision touch capability and high processing power, both systems are perfectly suited to replicate popular business processes with high customer satisfaction. Unlike optical systems, there is no interference from shop lighting or the user’s clothing.
 
A range of additional hardware components can be added to both polytouch systems via extension modules on either side of the screen, depending on application requirements. These include barcode- or RFID-readers, printers, speakers, Bluetooth modules and cameras.
 
Polytouch 32 was recently deployed by Pyramid’s global sales partner Wincor Nixdorf for multi-touch, cross-channel order-taking systems in the new Marks & Spencer store on the Champs-Elysées, Paris. Each unit incorporates a 2D scanner, credit-card machine and receipt-printer, enabling direct payment.
 
Pyramid shared the ‘polytouch world’ stand with international software partners Corporate Karma, Intuilab, keyneosoft, mms mainstream media solutions GmbH, NOM Communications and OXID eSales AG.
