67" Vertical Multi-Touch “Plug-and-Play” Display
GestureTek’s newest turnkey interactive advertising display system is a freestanding multi-touch unit that comes with a large 67” screen that functions as both digital signage and a presentation system for delivering multi-media information. Users interact with multi-touch applications by pointing at or touching the screen, using either one-handed or two-handed gestures.

All the hardware is hidden inside a sleek unit that measures only 22 inches deep, bringing the engaging dynamic of a multi-touch control interface to displays in both large and small spaces. The unit can be placed anywhere and can be installed without the help of a technician. The flexibility of this multi-touch surface computing system makes it ideal for retail locations, trade shows and presentation centers.
