Stick It and Touch It -Interactive Foil for Through-Window Touch Applications

If you are looking to take advantage of the expanding market for through window/glass touch screen applications then the ViP Interactive foil has been designed for you.

Our lightweight touch foil can be applied directly to a window or a glass sheet and then a rear projection screen or LCD can be mounted behind the touch foil to create a through-window/glass touch experience.

The ViP Interactive foil can be mounted using either a permanent or a removable fixing method allowing the touch unit to be moved to another location if required.

The touch foil is ideal for upgrading existing through window rear projection or LCD displays to create a through window touch experience.

There are no external components required with the VIP Interactive foil so the installation is completely safe behind the window.
