WorkS Digest Tue, 8 Sep 1981 Volume 1 : Issue 14

Today's Topics: Query - Cheap touchpanel ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: 4 Sep 1981 1257-EDT From: Kastner at RUTGERS (John) Subject: Touch Panel

Do you know of any vendors that sell a touch panel terminal or an add-on touch panel for an existing terminal? Either the actual touch sensitive or the light array type would be acceptable. We are looking for a panel that fits rights over the screen. We would prefer one on which a finger would work but might consider a light pen. We don't need high resolution and probably 16 X 16 would be sufficient. The terminals that we've seen cost over $7000 and have fancy graphics that we don't really need. What we would like is a cheap way that doesn't require a lot of fancy code or hardware.

Thank you, John Kastner

[ During July, WorkS discussed a variety of different workstation input devices. A major portion of the discussion was devoted to touchpanels. For your convenience, a transcript of this discussion is now available in the file DUFFEY;WORKS TOUCHP on MIT-AI. -- RDD ]
