Elo’s TouchTools MonitorMice
MonitorMice software
Elo TouchSystems’ MonitorMice software provides a multi-
user touch interface from a multi-user operating system, for
most Windows-based operating systems. System costs are
significantly reduced for a range of markets and
applications:
• Point-of-information kiosks
• Process control
• Financial
• Education and training
• Point-of-sale terminals
Using Elo’s patented MonitorMice software and multiple
video sources, you can spread one Windows desktop
across two or more monitors and have a separate
application running in a window on each monitor. The end
result can be as many as four independent, touch-activated
applications running simultaneously on one PC under most
Windows-based operating systems.
The multi-user software is an extension of Elo’s Monitor-
Mouse line that allows a touchscreen to work like a mouse
on each touchmonitor. Previously, each touchscreen required
its own PC.
Multi-user mode
In this mode the screen responds to a touch as it would
to a single mouse click. Simultaneous touches on multiple
monitors are recognized and processed without perceptible
delay.
A single PC running Windows on multiple displays can be
used in many applications:
• Kiosk “clusters” at airports, trade shows, and cyber
cafés, to allow several people to use the kiosk software at
the same time
• Factories, to operate and control manufacturing
processes from multiple locations
• Employment offices, to provide simultaneous job-search
capabilities from several stations
• Fast-food restaurants, to allow order-taking at multiple
stations
Single-user mode
Drag-and-drop, double-clicking, and pull-down menu
functions can be activated by touch when MonitorMice
software is operated in single-user mode. For example:
• A financial trader working with three or four monitors can
touch an item on one screen, then touch a second screen
to which the item should be moved. When the finger is
lifted from the first screen, the object automatically
moves to the second.
• In a doctor’s office, a single computer can drive monitors
located in different patient rooms. The doctor can pull up
patient records, billing data, and medical histories from
any of these locations. Without MonitorMice, a computer
with a network connection would have been required in
each room.
Elo’s MonitorMice software provides a multi-user touch interface
from one PC running most Windows-based operating systems.
