Exterior touch screen solutions are now coming on, but they must be weather proof and water proof to cope with the hazards of an outdoor location.

Interactive screen technology is moving on very fast, from the early days of the touch screen computers on factory floors, now we see similar touch technology in our local supermarkets such as in Tesco, Walgreens and Target for the self serve checkouts.

The dynamic signage industry has seen a steady growth in consumer interaction and uses these solutions to test what type of customer this marketing campaign attracts, and then when the demographics are recorded the digital signage company can sell this "proven" solution to businesses who can afford it.

Now electronic signage is moving outside, so expect to see lots of outdoor digital advertising solutions in the next six months. This is when touch screen technology will meet with electronic advertising.

From outdoor interactive screen kiosks to touch screen LCD advertising posters, there is a solution, but this hardware has to be tough enough to cope with the weather and rain, so the perfect solution is a weatherproof and water proof touch screen, this can be achieved by using through window touch technology, this fits to the inside of a stores window or door and all the technology is protected behind the plate glass window of the shop, however if your budget is much smaller, there is alternative solution.

A touch sensitive screen dynamic signage solution, is an outdoor LCD enclosures these are fitted with 5 wire infra red touch screen specifically designed for outdoor use, so all you need to do is install you LCD TV and plug in the connectors, switching the display on resulting in the content running from the small factor PC or media player in the LCD enclosure to the screen and the user controls it all by touch, this solution is IP65.
