Jahnavi– What are your thoughts on the Revolution of touchscreen display solutions?

Sanjoy– Touchscreen display technology is constantly evolving. Innovative and adaptable touch experiences will be made even more possible by new technologies like Infrared touch, Projected capacitive touchscreens. We may anticipate that touchscreens will spread even more widely across many products and businesses as technology develops. These two technologies have revolutionised the touchscreen display solutions in India.

Infrared touch and Projected capacitive touchscreens hasrevolutionised the touchscreen solutions in India. Infrared touch technology can easily be applied on public information desk, control rooms, which can detect commands interrupting a grid of infrared light beams that are positioned over the screen. When a beam is blocked, the touch point is calculated. Infrared touch screens are durable and capable of detecting multiple points of touch.

Talking about Projected capacitive touchscreens which are majorly applied in POS system, information kiosk, self service terminals, industrial control panels are coated with a transparent conductive film that, when touched by a fingertip, can use the conductivity of the human body as a means for input. They’re highly responsive and can detect up to 10 points of contact simultaneously.

Jahnavi– How do you think the gaming industry is evolving in India?

Sanjoy– According to recent research, the online gaming industry is expected to reach $182 billion by 2025. The availability of advanced tech and affordable display units, widespread internet use, the development of many game genres, and cutting-edge technology all contribute to the sector’s rapid expansion. Additionally, the online gaming market is anticipated to increase from 481 million users in 2022 to 657 million users in 2025, thanks to the AVGC task force and the introduction of 5G.

The population of PC gamers is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 8.5 per cent between 2019 and 2023, despite India’s beginning relatively late in the online mobile gaming space.
