Today's growing areas for touch-enhanced education applications include English for non-English speakers; exam preparation and practice tests for students of all ages; training of student nurses in patient care and emergency procedures; and interactive, multimedia exhibits for children and adults in museums.

Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave technology is at the heart of providing interactive touch-enhanced applications for education applications. Its stable, "drift-free" operation ensures reliable and consistent performance with less down time. The durable touchscreen surface withstands public abuse, and its intelligent digital mapping can "learn" around contamination, so there are no "dead spots" from scratches, dust, gum, or wiped-up liquid spills. Touch response is fast and accurate and can be activated by a finger or gloved hand, or a pointing device such as a soft stylus for interactive training.

Education touch products are available with a host of touch technologies. Surface wave is the most widely used touch technology for education applications. If the application is CRT based, iTouch touch-on-tube technology provides the best set of features, including superior optical and image quality along with resistance to scratches, breakage and vandalism. For LCD products, IntelliTouch overlay touchscreens are widely used. SecureTouch technology provides an additional measure of resistance to breakage and vandalism because of its tempered glass construction.

Elo also provides a broad array of custom touchmonitor and touchcomputer manufacturing services. Elo's Custom Solutions are a great resource for your specialized touch requirements.
