Physical touch screens are a breeding ground for germs. A possible solution? Holographic, contactless screens.

Physical touch screens have become so common these days, from bank ATMs to self-ordering or self-checkout kiosks. It’s almost impossible to not come into contact with one of these screens in our daily lives. Suffice to say, they are a breeding ground for germs if not disinfected regularly.

As if coming out from a scene in the Iron Man movies, this seemingly fanciful technology makes use of a special panel produced by Parity Innovations called Parity Mirror 300, which uses ray optics to produce a floating image. Contrary to what we see in the movies, the Air Touch Panel is solid-looking no matter how you view it. It has a motion sensor that tracks finger or hand movements, which are then processed by a mini computer.
