Deep Video Imaging Introduces the World's First Multi-Dimensional Z-axis Touch Monitor.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers HAMILTON Hamilton, city, Bermuda Hamilton, city (1990 est. pop. 3,100), capital of Bermuda, on Bermuda Island. It is a port at the head of Great Sound, a huge lagoon and deepwater harbor protected by coral reefs. , New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2001 actualdepth(TM) Monitors Incorporate Elo TouchSystems Surface Wave Technology for True Pressure Sensitive Dual Layer Depth Control Deep Video Imaging Ltd., the award winning actualdepth(TM) display technology company and Elo TouchSystems, the global leader in touch screen technology announced today their cooperation to produce the world's first multi-dimensional Z-axis touch control monitor. Deep Video Imaging will integrate Elo IntelliTouch(R) Z-axis touch screens as an option for its range of actualdepth(TM) monitors. The unique combination of Deep Video Imaging actualdepth(TM) display technology and Elo TouchSystem's patented IntelliTouch(R) surface wave touch technology creates the world's first touch sensitive multi-dimensional display. Adrian Scott, Elo TouchSystem's director of Sales for Australia and New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland. , said, "This is the first time a multi-dimensional touch monitor has been offered to the industry. It marks a significant step in the evolution of the touch interface between people and computers. Users can now touch the same surface area on a screen and by varying the amount of pressure applied, select objects displayed in either the foreground foreground - (Unix) On a time-sharing system, a task executing in foreground is one able to accept input from and return output to the user in contrast to one running in the background. or background." "By combining the unique and proven capabilities of Elo Surface Wave technology with the revolutionary multi-dimensional actualdepth(TM) monitor we have produced a breakthrough marriage between physical depth visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all and interaction via touch. With true Z-axis touch control, users in all industries may interact on multiple depth planes within the monitor," said Gabriel Engel, chief executive officer of Deep Video Imaging. The new actualdepth(TM) touch technology is the result of Deep Video Imaging's engineering focus on the specific requirements of kiosk kiosk Originally, in Islamic architecture, an open circular pavilion consisting of a roof supported by pillars. The word has been applied to a Turkish summer garden pavilion and a type of early Persian mosque. , gaming, graphical presentation, financial and instrumentation instrumentation, in music: see orchestra and orchestration. instrumentation In technology, the development and use of precise measuring, analysis, and control equipment. markets for which worldwide patents are pending. In applications such as interactive kiosks An Interactive kiosk is a computer terminal that provides information access via electronic methods. Interactive kiosks sometimes resemble telephone booths, but can also be used while sitting on a bench or chair. , actualdepth(TM) touch provides physical interaction on multiple layers, enabling a greater level of user feedback. In applications such as financial and instrumentation where space requirements restrict the size of the display area, actualdepth(TM) touch provides double the information area in a compact space while registering intuitive pressure sensitive depth plane selection. "actualdepth(TM) displays incorporating Elo IntelliTouch(R) touch interface and custom Active X and DLL's expand the developers ability to present interactive dual plane imagery resulting in greater productivity," said Engel. "As the leading provider of touch technology, Elo TouchSystems is excited to be involved in this breakthrough touch application. The actualdepth(TM) display provides a new and creative use of IntelliTouch(R) Z-axis capability, that we believe creates a new market for completely new interactive applications with touch," said Gayle Schaeffer, vice president of Marketing for Elo TouchSystems.
