3M Touch Systems has released the large format 32in MicroTouch ClearTek II touch screen and has expanded its industry-proven ClearTek capacitive touch screen product line.

Available immediately, this ClearTek II touch screen is the latest addition to 3M Touch Systems' series of large format ClearTek touch solutions, ranging from 24 to 32in display sises.

Larger sised displays enable casino game manufacturers to design the next generation of large format slot machines and casino operators to provide eye-catching and dynamic interactive applications for their guests.

"Large format touch displays have an exciting role to play in casino games and hospitality applications", said Koen Stomph, European Market Development Manager Gaming, 3M Touch Systems.

"3M recognises the potential for touch to extend beyond the gaming floor to all venues within the casino complex and we are committed to supporting these new opportunities with innovative technology that continues to exceed expectations and set standards for sise and performance now and in the future".

The 32in ClearTek II touch screen is designed to meet the stringent physical and functional requirements of large format, portrait-mode slot machines and complements the recently announced 40in dispersive signal technology (DST) product as another ideal solution for the emerging large format digital signage needs of casinos.

Key features include optimised optics, "smoother-than-glass" touch sensation, extreme reliability and high endurance.

Commented Nick Hughes, European Marketing Executive, 3M Touch Systems UK: "Our large format offerings originate from extensive research and development and, as a result, address the specific needs of casino managers - both on hospitality applications for interactive signage and point of information, and gaming applications for emerging slot machine designs".

"In addition, the products combine flexibility and ease of integration to facilitate new, creative applications".
