Untouchable touch screen

admin

Had a local customer find me recently and needed a couple of guards for the touch screen control panels for their "immersive panoramic display". Think of things like planetariums or the hanging globe projection used by Cirque du Soliel at the opening ceremonies of the China Olympics. (These folks did that)Basically these are simple surrounds that keep prying fingers away from the cables and buttons on the controls so only the touch screen is touchable. These will be going the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, NC. While my part is kind of plain and simple I think it's cool to be (even a small) part of projects like this.  Customer loved them and is already talking about some upcoming stuff that might be fun to do.Last edited by app-ironworksllc; 03-08-2012 at 11:27 AM.Brian LeonardAppalachian Ironworks L.L.C.434 Long Branch Rd, Marshall, NC 28753828 649 9966828 702 [email protected]

There are perforations in the cabinet behind the screen and the CPU goes in the bottom of the stand and it does have cooling fans for that.
Reply:Nice work, but it looks like you can still touch the untouchable touch screen
Reply:Very cool to be able  to walk into a museum and say "I made that"  Nice job man If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience.
