Carroll Touch announces availability of UniTouch, the most affordable add-on touch sensor available.


LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 1995--Carroll Touch, a leader in the design, development and manufacture of touch products, Tuesday announced the immediate availability of UniTouch(TM), a $199 infrared touch system that attaches easily to any 14- or 15-inch monitor, enabling interaction with applications using touch instead of, or in addition to, a mouse.

UniTouch is a full-featured scanning infrared touch sensor which attaches with Velcro(R) tabs to the front of a monitor, enabling anyone to easily and quickly install it. It also is designed to withstand the harshest environments, allowing anyone to use it.

UniTouch ships with a CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc.

 multimedia game package and educational software designed for early learning. The applications can be used even by very young children due to the intuitive nature of the touch interface, but UniTouch works just as well with any application designed for use with a mouse.

"We are very excited about the introduction of UniTouch," said David Martin David Martin may refer to: Politicians

  • David Martin (English politician) (born 1945), Conservative MP for Portsmouth South 1987–1997
, general manager of Carroll Touch. "One of the key benefits of touch technology as a computer interface is how easy it is to learn and use. UniTouch now makes it very affordable, even for home and school use."

UniTouch has dozens of applications throughout the home, office, even in industrial environments -- anywhere a mouse or keyboard are inconvenient in·con·ven·ient

b. Not suited to one's comfort, purpose, or needs: inconvenient to have no phone in the kitchen.

Since UniTouch can be attached and removed by the user, its installation has no effect on the monitor warranty and can be easily moved from one monitor to another.

Because UniTouch uses infrared technology to sense touch, it never requires calibration and is impervious im·per·vi·ous

 to dirt, dust and even spills. No matter how tough the environment, chances are good that if the computer is still working, so is UniTouch.
