Easy setup and removal of touch screen sensors
Command™ Strips Help Casinos Save Time and Money
Replacing a damaged touch sensor or a working sensor on a broken LCD display can take experienced slot technicians nearly an hour. Using Command Strips for Touch Sensors, touch sensors can be removed in seconds by merely pulling the exposed tabs. And, by using the Command peel and stick strips, a touch sensor can be quickly integrated in minutes, especially since Command's stretch release technology leaves no difficult-to-remove adhesive residue to clean. Casinos adopting this mounting method can reduce their future touch sensor replacement time and help return repaired games to the casino floor more quickly.
T-Bars: Towards Tactile User Interfaces for Mobile Touchscreens
M. Hall, E. Hoggan, and S. Brewster, "T-Bars: towards tactile user interfaces for mobile touchscreens," in Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices and services Amsterdam, The Netherlands: ACM, 2008.
Mobile device user interface elements tend to be based on desktop widgets that were not originally intended for small screen finger-based interfaces. Mobile usage scenarios afford many completely different interactions, so should be designed accordingly. This paper presents a new type of widget, the T-Bar, designed specifically for finger-based touchscreen interfaces using tactile feedback. Using the tactile feedback for orientation, the user's fingertip is guided along the T-Bar until an item is successfully selected. This paper offers observations on our finger-based touchscreen widget and two applications of the T-Bar widget. Both, File-o-Feel and Touch 'n' Twist are multi-touch information browsing applications that deviate from traditional desktop GUI paradigms and are tailored for fingertip input where all interaction takes place through the use of T-Bars; eliminating the need for any other widgets.
