3M Touch Systems announces the demonstration of a new touch screen

3M Touch Systems announces the demonstration of a new touch screen
system, the Microtouch capacitive Touchsense system, using Immersion's
Touchsense tactile feedback, at the International Casino Exhibition
(ICE) in London, January 2007 (Stand 3560). This system enables a new
multi-sensory slot machine experience by combining existing audio and
visual cues with physical feedback from the tactile technology. 3M Touch
Systems is the exclusive touch screen manufacturer providing
Touchsense-enabled solutions for the casino gaming market.

The Microtouch capacitive Touchsense system makes virtual onscreen
buttons feel real.

The system provides tactile feedback which can simulate simple button
press functionality or more complex actions that enhance game play.

Game developers are provided with a new creative and dynamic touch
initiated feature that can be used to raise the players' experience to a
higher level of enjoyment.

The new 3M system combines a MicroTouch capacitive touch screen,
Immersion Touchsense actuators, and a hybrid electronics controller
based on the powerful MicroTouch EX II electronics platform from 3M.

The system provides tactile feedback while maintaining fast and
accurate response.

3M will additionally demonstrate a 32in MicroTouch ClearTek II
Capacitive Touch Screen with EX II capacitive electronics and Vikuiti
Rear Projection Screens from 3M, which allow for high quality images at
180 degree viewing angles.

Large format touch displays have an exciting role to play in casino
games and interactive hospitality applications.

The 32in ClearTek II capactive touch screen by 3M is designed to meet
the stringent physical and functional requirements of large format,
portrait-mode slot machines.

The durability of 3M's capacitive solution makes it ideal for harsh
environments where fast and reliable touch performance is required.

MicroTouch EX II Controllers are based on the innovative EX II ASIC,
designed to provide higher resolution touch coordinates, on-chip RAM,
and a wider operating temperature range.

They support serial and USB, offer expanded regulatory approvals,
improved power modes, and enhanced ESD and EMI protection.
