zForce AIR Touch Sensors enable touch interaction on any type of display or surface of any shape, making it easy to add interactivity and differentiation to products with or without displays. zForce AIR Touch Sensor is a laser light based touch sensor that can be integrated and used in various applications. The sensor characteristics are high scanning frequency, low latency and good touch accuracy without the need for calibration. Touch functionality is provided without any glass or plastic film overlay. The result is a 100% optical transparency with consistent display image quality and no disturbing glare.
