Basically if you have a display (LCD, projection, etc) and you have a surface (store front window, support column, floor, etc) Visual Planet can turn it into a touchscreen. Their YouTube channel is also chock full of videos showcasing tons of different use-cases and sizes. Their fairly new website also highlights how they can work with their partners to provide you with a custom solution from distribution of the film to installation to software development. With their launch of the multitouch drivers, Visual Planet is helping expand its user base by including Windows 7 compatibility and courting developers with an SDK. The general appeal, and versatility can be seen in the third video, taken at an installation in Oslo. Single touch goes all the way up to 167 inches, as you’ll see in the second video. Multitouch like this can be produced at sizes up to 60 inches. The first is a simple LCD monitor that has been covered in the touchfoil (aka the “ViP Interactive Foil”). Over the past seven years they’ve installed “thousands” of these surfaces around the globe. I have to start with some of the impressive demonstrations Visual Planet and its partners have created. Is this proven technology just a novelty, or will it help transform our environment into a digital wonderland?

Cambridge-based Visual Planet just launched its new massive-sized multitouch thin film drivers so you can create touchscreens from 30 to 167 inches in size! Their touchfoil is a transparent nanowire embedded polymer capable of sensing the touch of a finger, or even pressure from wind and translating that to a computer interface. ![]() Open up a cardboard tube, roll out a transparent film just millimeters thick, apply it on a flat object and *tada* you’ve got an interactive touch surface. Installations like this one at the University of Oregon show the potential of massive touch surfaces produced using Visual Planet's touchfoil technology.
