Touch sensor developer visualplanet has released its latest touchfoil, which will allow manufacturers to create multitouch touchscreens for kiosks, according to a press release. The touchfoil is designed to work with glass up to 15 mm thick.

"At visualplanet, we work hard to innovate in line with our customers' demands and are delighted to be bringing our expertise in large format touch sensors into this smaller format market with sizes as small as 15 inches," visualplanet director Mike Cole said in the release. "We are now connecting with the manufacturers and suppliers of smaller self-service touch solutions to bring them the benefits of the design flexibility of our established touchfoil product."

The touchfoil is designed to work many different screen sizes, as small as 15 inches according to the press release. It is built specifically to work with wayfinding and vending kiosks.

"There is a requirement for a touch sensor that enables the production of competitive and reliable interactive solutions without compromising the final aesthetic. The customizable touchfoil, delivered as a thin film package, now addresses this need for freedom in design creativity across a wider size range," Cole said.
