Planar Scatter Detection technology
True multi-touch with unprecedented performance
FlatFrog's multi-touch technology, called Planar Scatter Detection (PSD), is an optical in-glass technology with unprecedented performance through advanced opto-mechanics and signal processing. PSD is setting a new standard for true multi-touch technologies.
Planar Scatter Detection (PSD)
• Novel optical solution enabling extreme update frequencies and resolution
• Utilizes transparent medium waveguide properties, not limited to a single material
• Embedded system processing with DSP support for a compact solution
PSD ENABLES UNPRECEDENTED MULTI-TOUCH SPECIFICATIONS SUCH AS:
Natural gesture input with true multi-touch functionality
Unlike systems that provide limited multi-touch such as dual or triple touch, the FlatFrog system provides true multi-touch capability with many simultaneous touches (20+ touches), as well as object size recognition. Low touch latency provided by refresh rates above 120 Hz enables effortless drags, reinforcing a natural gesture input experience.
High resolution and accuracy
FlatFrog offers pixel-accurate multi-touch resolution at Quad HD resolution.
Sleek form factor
The FlatFrog system is designed for both horizontal and vertical operation, enabling discrete integration into most environments. FlatFrog's products can fit any existing active and passive display technologies. Virtually no bezel is needed which allows the system to be completely flush with the surroundings.
Ambient light immunity Full optical clarity Rugged design Gentle multi-mode touch Unwanted object rejection Designed for rapid product development
Designed for flawless function in a wide range of ambient light environments, from direct sunlight to strobe lights in a casino.
Complete optical clarity provides virtually zero photonic degradation with up to 99.95% light transmission depending on glass.
The FlatFrog system is developed to perform even in harsh environments. The robust physical characteristics maximize resistance while advanced filtering techniques ensure continued multi-touch performance despite eventual dust, liquids, scratches or reasonable physical disturbances.
Many methods can be used to interact with the screen simultaneously: finger, gloved hand or several types of pointers. No pressure is needed, but pressure can be detected if required.
The FlatFrog system is designed for optimal use in environments where the display surface may come in contact with non-input objects such as glasses, ashtrays, palms, elbows and arms.
FlatFrog's developer framework and open API are developed to facilitate software porting to the multi-touch environment. All platforms are supported, such as Windows, Linux or OS X.
