Touchscreen Technology

Touchscreen technology is becoming more and more prominent, whether it be a monitor, tablet PC or Microsoft’s recent ‘Surface’. By using touchscreen technology you allow users to interact more with the product giving them the ability to view what they want or move things around at the touch of a ‘screen’.

NMBS have been testing a touchscreen monitor over the past few months. Below are a few ideas of how touchscreen technology could be used -:
 
  • In Store Product search – allow customers to quickly search for and locate a product.
  • In Store Product Demos – allow customers and staff to view products demo videos and view specification sheets. The customer would be able to pick which product to view.
  • Reception welcome screen – display company videos, news feeds and allow users to choose what they view whilst in company reception.
  • Product Demos whilst out on sales visits. Use portable tablet PCs to play product videos and display presentations in a professional way.


Obviously there are many more ways in which they can be used and of course each use would suit businesses individually. Please see links below to a range of different touch screen devices -:
