The Next-Generation IR-Based Technology

that uses the concept of shadows to track touch on screens. Proudly engineered and designed in Canada, Baanto’s ShadowSense is entirely different from any other IR technology with over 80 patents to date.

Baanto’s ShadowSense combats commonly known challenges prevalent in the touchscreen market relating specifically to poor touch reliability, low durability, the high total cost of ownership and poor latency that leads to poor user experience. ShadowSense will allow you to create cutting-edge solutions for your customers and users to flourish in various industries such as military and avionics, healthcare, corporate IT and interactive signage.

You might be wondering, “how exactly does it work?” As the name suggests, ShadowSense is all about detecting shadows. The ShadowSense technology is an optical position sensing technology based on accurately detecting an object’s shadow. Not only can it measure the location and position, but ShadowSense also can detect the size, shape, and transparency of the touch. Quite impressively, ShadowSense can detect if a drop of water generated the touch, or it was a pen, stylus or a finger

Envision a sundial; if you know the height of that sundial and the length of the shadow, with some quick math, you can calculate that angle. Additionally, if there are multiple sundials and they all produce independent angles, you can then calculate the intersection. As the light (or object) is moving, the shadows will also constantly be changing. Baanto’s ShadowSense technology can easily be used to track position in 3D by tracking 2D shadows.

This time envision two pixels side by side, P1 and P2. Half of P1 is covered by a roof or an aperture. When a light source is directly above, all the light will fall on P2, while P1 is only exposed to half the light. As the light begins to move in a clockwise direction, subsequently, P1 will start to get more light. And conversely, as the light moves in a counter-clockwise direction, P1 will get less light. What does this all mean? Well, looking at the ratio of the light on P1 versus P2, you can quickly determine the object’s position that is causing the shadow

Solution for a Winning Retail Experience

With the ubiquity of mobile devices, the rise of online shopping, and the growth of social media, the retail landscape has changed dramatically. Today’s shoppers are smarter and more technology-oriented than ever before. They want in-store access to product information, suggestions, promotions, ordering, and so much more.

But how do you offer these services while helping your business engage customers and increase revenue? Many retail businesses have adopted large format digital signage displays to reach customers in entirely new ways.

Building Brand Awareness

Your brand is more than a logo—it’s a personality that represents your business’ values and philosophy. It’s what your customers respond to even before they decide to make a purchase. To build brand awareness, you have to engage customers. Cutting through all of the noise to reach your customers and build trust isn’t always an easy task, especially given the pervasiveness of print, television, as well as online advertising.

A study conducted by Statista found that more than 52% of U.S. millennials are looking for brands that they can trust.

According to a TTV marketing survey, 78% of businesses reported using digital signage, and 50% planned to increase their digital signage budgets.

Implementing digital signage displays throughout your store is a great way to engage customers and showcase your brand’s personality. It can also help you reduce costs and provides a powerful platform for targeted marketing and merchandising strategies.

Displays Aren’t Limited to Indoors

Taking advantage of all space available to you to entice your customers to come inside the store can now move to your outside space as well. With displays that are immune to sunlight and glare, your interactive outdoor display can impress passersby, enticing them to come inside. Now that your physical store has to compete with online retailers as well, having an eye and attention-grabbing display gives your store the wow factor that gets customers to come inside and find out more about your brand and products.

Instead of traditional window displays that required extensive printing, sticking to windows, and timely set-up and teardown procedures, your interactive outdoor displays work in any environment.

Immersive Video Walls

Once you have customers inside your store, enticing them to buy your products is the next challenge. Traditional in-store displays face many of the same problems as static window displays. They take up precious retail space. The displays can only feature a few products, and you can only target a very small segment of shoppers with their content, making them poor tools for sustained customer engagement and sales.

Customers like to feel as if they are making informed buying decisions, and interactive product walls are a way to engage them with targeted information and promotions that converts to more in-store sales.

According to a recent study, if they had to choose, 42% of retail consumers would choose to shop at a store with video displays. Another study finds that 63% of people state that digital signage captivates their attention.

With interactive product walls, you can create a truly immersive shopping experience that links virtual content with the physical experience. New technologies that feature multi-touch capabilities allow you to create virtual displays that can be customized to deliver content according to a shopper’s gender, the current weather conditions, available inventory, or to highlight sales and specials. In addition, they can provide QR codes to encourage shoppers to learn more about products on their mobile devices, increasing cross-channel selling opportunities.

Healthcare professionals have challenging, fast-paced jobs, and they require technology that can keep up with their demanding environment. This means technology that is easy to use, allows access to essential data quickly, and adapts to a rapidly changing environment. Touch interfaces meet all of these criteria, turning typical medical grade monitors into interactive touchscreens that assist professionals with delivering exceptional patient care.

Medical grade monitors are found in virtually every part of a hospital or medical office: they are implemented into convenient patient kiosks, provide vital imaging services, and allow professionals to have patient information right at hand.

Medical Grade & Healthcare Touchscreen Monitors Market Fit

Legacy touch systems suffer from a number of deficiencies. Many PCAP products cannot meet the exceedingly stringent Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) requirements of medical environments as they are susceptible to interference. In addition, they also degrade in operation due to residue from surgical gloves, liquids, or cleaning fluids on the touchscreen.

These monitors need to meet high standards for durability and safety, as they can be subject to rough treatment and even hazardous substances. At the very least, they should withstand liquid spills, handle rigorous sanitization protocols, and be able to operate continuously for several months at a time. Devices equipped with ShadowSense™ technology fulfill these requirements, and offer several other benefits that are ideal in a medical office.

Benefits of ShadowSense™ in the Healthcare Industry

ShadowSense™ touchscreen solutions detect input from any kind of source, including both bare and gloved hands, styluses, and more, letting healthcare professionals remain sanitary even when inputting data

Baanto touchscreen technology can distinguish between a touch meant for input and one caused by fluids or other unwanted materials; it can reject certain inputs to avoid distorting information or items that are being displayed

Our interfaces work on a number of different screen sizes, ranging from 8” to 267”, allowing you to equip monitors and screens throughout your facility and offering modern technology to virtually every department

ShadowSense™ also functions regardless of lighting conditions, still offering full operational capabilities when in darkened rooms or indirect light, such as those found in surgical facilities

Healthcare Touchscreen Performance & Reliability

Performance and reliability outweigh cost considerations in this segment and Baanto has established a notable foothold, with over 12,000 units sold into FDA-approved medical devices

Baanto’s solutions for medical touchscreens are compatible with existing systems, featuring plug-and-play adaptability with little to no setup required. Patients and medical professionals can begin using this technology immediately, with a minimal learning curve and complete compatibility with underlying systems and devices.

ShadowSense unique advantages to the healthcare touchscreen market:
