Great question! To give you an overview, touch functionality can be added on the following Digital Displays: Digital Slim Totem, Digital Smart Line Totem, Digital Totem Double-Sided, Digital Kiosk. On the Digital Slim Totem, Digital Totem Double-Sided and Digital Kiosk, touch functionality will be added by installing touch foil on the reverse side of the glass. While for the Digital Smart Line Totem, touch functionality will be integrated within the screen.

However, we are continually exploring options to meet your customer's needs. While touch functionality is not available at the moment at other Digital Displays, we appreciate your feedback and we would be happy to discuss possibilities with you.

The functionality of touch screens and touch foils is essentially the same, but the difference lies in their installation methods. A touch screen has the touch-sensitive layer built-in directly during the manufacturing process, resulting in a seamless integration. On the other hand, a touch foil is a separate touch-sensitive layer that must be installed on top of the display glass. Applying touch foil to the screen is overall lower in price than installing touch screen functionality within the screen.
