Itoki Co. Ltd., an office furniture manufacturer based in Japan, recently partnered with Zytronic Plc. to craft an interactive face-up table. Zyronic provided its projected capacitive technology and its ZXY200 multi-touch controller for the multi-touch display on the table's surface, according to a press release.

The table comes with a 48-inch ZyBrid sensor along with the multi-touch controller to support up to 40 independent touch points and rapid-touch detection. The table also comes with a anti-glare etched glass surface for smoother finger gliding and broad white printed borders for users to place notepads, cups and other items.

"Our table is a fusion with computing technology and office furniture that could not have been realized in the past. It allows for many opinions to be aired during meetings and shortens the time it takes for certain jobs like information sharing, planning, and creating, editing or sending documents," Toshiya Nishimori, member of Itoki's ICT solution development team, said in the release. "During the development phase, we checked and verified touch panels from many companies. There are few touch sensors that match our requirements and I believe that being able to partner with Zytronic has led to the improved value for our customers."
