What is the Paradigm Interactive Foil?
Paradigm's interactive foil is a clear lightweight touch foil that can be applied under or behind any non-metallic substrate to create a through material (glass) touch system.

How does it work?
The Paradigm touch foil uses projective capacitance. When a user's finger or gloved hand comes close to the surface it causes a deflection in the electrical field. This deflection is registered by ultra-fine wires in x and y axes, allowing precise location of the touch position.

What thickness of material can the touch foil work through?
The touch foil can work through non-metallic materials up to 16mm thick. We do recommend testing materials thicker than 10mm.

Will it work through double-glazing?
The touch screen can work through double-glazing. To achieve this the controller board has to be modified in the factory. This modification slows the refresh rate of the touch screen. Due to this only touch functions are available in this mode rather than drag and touch. We recommend site testing in all cases to check functionality since double glazing specification vary widely.

What are the typical uses of the interactive foil?
*Through-window system using rear projection or LCD as the display technology.
*Integrated with LCD displays for creating kiosks or stand-alone touch screens.
*Under table tops for using LCD or projectors from above for the display technology.

What sizes are available?
The foil comes in standard 4:3 format from 30" to 80" and 16:9 format from 32" to 100". Special custom sizes are also available.

What is the largest foil size I can buy?
The width is 120 cm and length is 220 cm. Please call Paradigm to discuss requirements.

How is it fixed?
*The touch screen can be fixed using either a permanent or non-permanent adhesive system (a sheet of clear material), dependent on the application.
*The non-permanent system is designed to be for used on glass only and is ideal for retail applications to allow frequent application and removal.
