Intent: research. Best Touchscreen publishes original analysis of interactive display technology—from Maryland’s digital Hall of Fame to the engineering behind Times Square’s LED walls. Plus curated industry links.
The stuff that actually makes interactive displays feel great in the real world—latency, calibration, accessibility, and content pipelines.
Touch feels "broken" when pipelines stall. Track end‑to‑end latency (input → render → display), budget for smoothing, and validate with real fingers—not a mouse.
If content updates require heroics, the exhibit rots. Prefer repeatable ingest, safe moderation, and deployment you can roll back.
Brightness, glare, pixel pitch, and viewing distance matter more than specs. Validate in the actual lighting and traffic flow.
Multi-touch calibration drifts. Plan routines for recalibration, edge-case testing, and hardware replacement cycles.
Many experiences work better when phones complement the wall: queueing, handoff, deep dives, and accessibility options.
Touch-only interaction excludes people. Support keyboard, readable type scales, motion-reduced modes, and alternative access paths.
In-depth analysis of interactive display technology, LED walls, accessibility research, and exhibit design.
