Touch International Unveils Breakthrough Touch Technology

Touch International Inc., last week announced Digital Ink, the thin, form fitting, unbreakable, wear-resistant touch technology capable of stylus, finger, and gloved-hand input with palm rejection. Digital Ink is ideal for retail signature capture, web phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), gaming devices, global positioning systems (GPS), and other handheld applications where thinness, power-efficiency, and low-weight are crucial to design advances.

Digital Ink brings the functionality of a touch screen to any material, including a window store front, table top, or bullet proof glass. With its palm rejection capabilities, Digital Ink eliminates accidental input from the pressure of the user's knuckles or palm, ensuring accurate input registration. Digital Ink supports USB and PS/2 communication protocols. Supported operating systems include Microsoft Windows 98/2000/CE/ME/XP, Linux and Macintosh.

"Digital Ink is the biggest advance in touch technology in more than ten years," said Gary Barrett, inventor and co-founder of Touch International. "There is nothing in the market that comes close and once scaled up to larger-size touch screens, I believe it will revolutionize the industry."
