Horizontal Interactive Desks

Horizontal Interactive Touch Desks for Immersive Display, Product Exploration and Collaborative Interaction

DisplayMan horizontal interactive desks are large-format touchscreen terminals designed for tabletop interaction, collaborative display, product exploration, digital maps, exhibition content, education, retail experience and showroom applications.

Unlike wall-mounted touch terminals or interactive flat panels, horizontal interactive desks are designed for users to stand or sit around the display and interact with content from a table-like surface.

They can integrate a commercial LCD display, touchscreen, operating system, horizontal enclosure, ventilation structure, software interface and optional smart functions into one complete interactive desk terminal.

For most real horizontal interactive desk projects, 75″ is the most commonly selected and practical large-format size. It provides enough interactive surface area for multiple users, strong visual impact and better customer acceptance compared with 86″ or 98″.

From Display Screen to Shared Interactive Surface

Challenge

A Normal Wall-Mounted Display Is Not Always Suitable

A normal wall-mounted display can show content, but it is not always suitable for group exploration, map browsing, product comparison, museum storytelling or real estate project presentation.

User Experience

Users Need to Explore Content Together

In these applications, users often need to gather around the content, touch it, zoom it, rotate it, compare it and explore information together.

Solution

Shared Tabletop Interactive Surface

A horizontal interactive desk turns the display into a shared tabletop surface. It combines screen, touch, system, glass and desk enclosure into one interactive experience product.

Size Strategy

75″ as the Best Starting Point

For most real projects, 75″ is usually the best recommendation because it provides enough interaction area while keeping cost and installation more acceptable.

Result

More Immersive Interactive Projects

Customers can create more immersive visitor experiences, product presentations, real estate sales tools, museum interactions, education tables and collaborative planning environments.
