Touch sensor specialist Zytronic has, thanks to its patented Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™), been contracted to participate in yet another interactive digital signage project where long term operation must be assured. The Tyneside-based company has collaborated with Harp Visual Communications on the development of a series of very large format touch-operated display units for use in cinema foyers.

The dynamic interactive units produced by Harp will run the latest film trailers and advertisements, replacing conventional posters and cardboard promotional materials with a far more exciting, visually-pleasing alternative. Built-in proximity sensors trigger each unit to start showing highlights from upcoming blockbusters via high definition graphic imagery as cinema goers walk past. Each eye-catching 55-inch diagonal, touch-enabled LCD can be used to enter competitions, sign up for newsletters, or even play games related to upcoming releases. The units are already seeing widespread uptake, with 30 recently installed at Cineworld complexes around the UK plus further installations planned at Vue and Odeon venues in the coming months.
