TouchWindows®

TouchWindow allows learners to use the computer successfully. People naturally point to and touch computer monitors while using software. The TouchWindow takes advantage of this natural interaction by allowing students to select and move objects, operate pull-down menus, and draw graphics - all with the touch of a finger.
TouchWindows is resistant to breakage, has a scratch resistant surface which offers ultimate safety to all users. User makes selection on the screen - no intermediate steps or devices interfere with their attention. Just touch an on-screen object or word , and the computer responds.
The TouchWindow is especially effective with first time computer users. Studies show that students learn faster and have better retention when they are engaged in the process. The TouchWindow is easy for all users to use, and will keep them actively involved.
It is easy to attach, or remove to use on another computer. It can also be used as a switch by setting it flat on table or wheelchair tray. Most Macintosh and Windows software that works with a mouse is TouchWindows compatible. USB-equipped computers already offer plug-and play simplicity, and by adding touch-and-respond functionality, you will have the advantage of superior and maximum user friendliness.
Styli, protective overlay sheets and monitor adapter rails are sold separately.
