3M M2256PW Multitouch Display
3M unveiled the 3M Display M2256PW, a 22in. high-definition, multitouch LCD display. Based on 3M Projected Capacitive Technology, the M2256PW display is designed for professional and prosumer (professional consumer) applications that need up to 10-finger touch input or multiuser interactivity with very fast response time. While most multitouch technologies support two-finger touch and gestures, 3M’s multitouch technology supports 10-finger touch input and advanced gesture capability. The M2256PW features a high-definition 1680×1050 LCD screen, DVI and VGA video input, audio input, USB and RS-232 (serial) dual-mode communication protocol, and a durable, anti-glare front surface. Applications taking advantage of this high level of interactivity include computer-aided design, digital signage, computer gaming, security monitoring systems, education and training, and teleconferencing. The M2256PW display is compatible with Windows 7, so no third-party touch drivers are required. For Linux and Windows XP/Vista/7 operating systems, 3M plans to offer a multitouch driver and software utility, and it will offer communication protocol documents for customers who wish to develop their own drivers.
