3M touch-screen products compatible with Windows 7

The touch screens have been engineered to seamlessly integrate with the Windows 7 operating system and are said to help application developers and customers take advantage of the operating system's new touch interface.

3M projected capacitive touch technology has received Windows Touch Additional Qualification (AQ) status for multi-touch interactivity by meeting the testing criteria.

The 3M touch technology offers Windows 7 developers 'true' multi-touch functionality with 10-finger simultaneous touch capability for real-world multi-finger and multi-user applications.

This technology is available as a 19in multi-touch developer's kit.

The Microtouch System SCT3250EX (HID) from 3M, based on the company's surface capacitive touch technology, has received the 'Compatible with Window 7' logo for single touch and digitised gesture capabilities.

With this certification, customers are assured that their 3M touch screen displays or 3M touch-enabled devices with 3M USB-HID connectivity will plug-and-play with the Windows 7 operating system without loading touch drivers.

This helps ensure ease of integration and helps VARs and systems integrators take advantage of the touch functionality built into Windows 7 as they roll-out new programs or upgrade existing ones.

The SCT3250EX HID product is available in display sizes ranging from 6.4in to 32in.
