We caught up with Sanjoy Bhattacharya, Director of Sales & Marketing, IT Business, ViewSonic India and this is what he told us about the business.
Can you elaborate on the revolution of touchscreen display solutions and how ViewSonic contributes to this trend in India?
Touchscreens have evolved significantly, enhancing the use of contemporary displays. The screens have become thinner and are now even bendable. Display units are now more relaxed and more accessible due to technological advancements. Earlier, the touchscreens were resistive, but with capacitive touchscreens, responsiveness has improved, and multi-touch actions like swiping and pinching have now become feasible.
Touchscreen aesthetics were enhanced by the direct integration of touch layers into displays using in-cell and on-cell technologies, which resulted in thinner, higher-quality devices. Gesture recognition provides intuitiveness by enabling recognition and reaction to particular hand gestures. Flexible and foldable screens have added to the effectiveness and versatility of the display units. Additionally, force touch technology was introduced by detecting pressure differences, giving users a more refined touch experience.
ViewSonic’s touchscreen monitors are meticulously crafted to integrate seamlessly into various workflows. Featuring a compact form factor and a sleek design for effortless integration, these monitors are ideal for conveying point-of-sale information and signage with efficiency and style.
