SANTA CLARA, California,
June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Neonode
Inc., (NASDAQ: NEON), the optical sensing technology company, today
announced that its zForce® Touch Solutions are now optimized for
reducing pathogen transmission in hospitals and other public
spaces, by enabling contact-free interaction with graphical user
interface (GUIs).
Transmission of health care-associated pathogens that have been
shed onto touchscreens and button panels such as elevator buttons,
vending machines, information boards, and electronic menus in fast
food restaurants create well-documented public health risks.
Evidence supporting these risks is provided by the NIH [1]. Neonode
zForce Touch Solutions enable contactless interaction with
touchscreens and button panels to mitigate these risks.
A zForce Touch sensor mounted along one edge of a display
provides an interaction area positioned a desired distance above
the display surface as illustrated in Figure 1, below. By making
the interaction area hover above the display surface, users
experience touch interaction without actually coming in contact
with the display, reducing the risks of shedding and receiving
health care-associated pathogens through contact with the
display.
A zForce Touch sensor can also be mounted beneath a panel of
buttons, such as an elevator panel, to enable riders to select
their floor without touching the buttons.
"The risk of contamination in hospitals and public areas
is of paramount concern to facilities, customers and designers of
displays and other interactive devices. Providing a
safety-conscious solution without compromising performance and the
user experience is the driving force behind Contactless Touch, and
we believe our customers will be as excited as we are about this
innovative application," states Carl
Bergendal, Executive VP Sales and Engineering at
Neonode.
