3M Multi-Touch Technology



3M Multi-touch Technology, based on 3M Projected Capacitive touch technology and electronics, offers software developers fast, accurate and simultaneous 10-finger touch functionality for creating next-generation, multitouch applications.

3M Multi-touch Technology is compatible with Windows 7 by communicating directly (via USB HID protocol) with the operating system's touch interface to support gesture actions like flick, pinch and expand, and image rotation. Developers can use these cues to create complex, multi-finger or multi-user applications.

3M Multi-touch Technology works seamlessly with Windows 7 touch drivers. For Windows XP/Vista and Linux operating systems, 3M provides multi-touch drivers. For other operating systems, USB and RS-232 communication protocol reference documents are available for writing drivers to interface with the 3M Multi-touch Technology.

3M Multi Touch Technology has received Windows Touch Additional Qualification (AQ) for multi-touch interactivity.

Unique attributes of this technology are:

  • 10-finger multi-touch input
  • Precise, accurate touch for detailed applications
  • Multi-user and multi-tasking capabilities
  • Projected Capacitive touch technology with a durable glass front surface
  • Less than 15ms touch response time (for all 10 fingers) for applications that are speed sensitive
