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
