Multitouch technology allows users to interact with any device in various ways. By allowing a device to recognize and process multiple touches simultaneously, multitouch technology provides a more intuitive user experience. This way, PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS, through frames overlay (produced internally), can convert any LG, Samsung, Philips, among others, display into a display with multitouch Projected Capacitive (PCAP) technology.
Examples of multitouch technology include smartphones, tablets, interactive tables, multimedia kiosks and digital billboards, which make the user experience easier and better. Multitouch technology also allows multiple pressure points to be interpreted at the same time, including gestures.
As this technology becomes more and more common, we can expect that more equipment – such as PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS already have – can include multitouch. In addition to allowing users to slide, scroll, zoom in and out and move the cursor, multitouch technology may also be used for 3D experiences.

The importance of multitouch technology in automation
Most people are familiar with the general principle of touchscreen technology: the interface works when the touch point is determined. It is the information that determines which icons or buttons the operator is pressing. However, there are several different types of touch screen technology, including multitouch.
Adapted and prepared for new technologies, multitouch is fundamental in automation, taking into account the following characteristics and benefits:
- Low implementation costs
Multitouch technology offers great advantages without the need for a significant investment or a drastic change.
- Cost reduction
Companies are able to reduce costs, taking into account the ease of use of any equipment with multitouch technology.
- Automated problem diagnosis
Multitouch technology can solve problems by providing an overview of the system while consuming less storage space.
PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS and the multitouch implementation
One of the fundamental components of a digital signage project is the display. It is through this that different contents are presented. A display is, thus, a device that presents information, in a visual or tactile way, acquired, stored or transmitted in various forms.
PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS displays enhance the conventional viewing experience through multimedia content for customers. With the best image quality in the market, these displays bring to life any brand, company or business and offer innovative content that involves, informs and entertains.
This way, PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS can, through frames overlay, convert any LCD/LED display into a display with multitouch Projected Capacitive (PCAP) technology. Due to the glass surface, PCAP touch screens are particularly scratch-resistant.
This technology, designed for professional integrators, allows the displays to be transformed into truly touch sensitive experiences with great reliability. It is also extremely advantageous for a number of digital signage and information counter applications.
PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS’ goal is to provide interactive and easy-to-use digital signage solutions such as multitouch technology, ensuring the best possible performance in a wide variety of applications.
Multitouch technology in multimedia kiosks
Multitouch technology, very present in multimedia kiosks such as PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS, aims to enhance the user experience and increase sales and customer satisfaction in any establishment.
Unlike the limited interface provided by the previous generation of touch screen technologies, multitouch technology relies on user gestures to eliminate the need for buttons. Thus, anyone can intuitively interact with dynamic content.
Multitouch kiosks bring several advantages. Besides saving time, money and work for the organizations that benefit from them, they provide a highly personalized experience.
Multimedia kiosks can be adapted to any space and any situation, so almost all sectors of society can take advantage of the benefits of these technological solutions. The sectors of industry, catering, health, tourism and hospitality, public transport, banking, cinema, public administration, education and culture are some of the beneficiaries.
