In recent years touchscreen devices are used in countless applications, including both consumer and business applications. While most touchscreen devices rely on either capacitive or resistive technology to detect touch commands, some manufacturers have already focus on explore new way, one of which involves holograms. This new technology is known as holographic touchscreens. Although those touchable devices using this new technology are still relatively new, they are quickly gaining momentum among manufacturers.

Overview of Holographic Touchscreens
A holographic touchscreen is a hologram-projecting device that supports touch commands. As with other hologram-projecting devices, it uses light diffraction to produce three-dimensional images in front of the device’s screen. There are other devices that produce three-dimensional images, but they generally require the use of three-dimensional goggles or glasses. In comparison, holographic devices do not.


Holographic touchscreens go one step further by supporting the use of touch commands. They produce three-dimensional images by diffracting light in front of the screen. But they also allow users to control the device by touching the area in front of the screen.

How Holographic Touchscreens Detect Touch Commands?

Manufacturers often install sensors along the edges of the device or other positions. When you touch the area in front of the device’s screen, the sensors can identify the location of your finger or hand. As a result, it’s able to pinpoint exactly where you touched, which the device translates into a touch command.

Since holographic touchscreens don’t require you to touch the surface of the screen, they are virtually immune to fingerprint smudges. To perform a touch command, you simply touch the air in front of the screen. There’s no direct contact between your finger and the device itself. And you never need to worry about others can get your fingerprint when you leave the devices.
After the 2019-COVID epidemic, people care more about health than before especially in public places. As the viruses or bacterium can live on the touchscreens, the traditional touchable devices have risk of spreading diseases. Nowadays we often use touchable devices when we buying food in fast restaurant or buying a train ticket. If we still want to use these devices but not taking risk of getting infection, one of the effective ways is using holographic touchscreens to replace the capacitive or resistive touchscreens.

Holographic touchscreens are still relatively new, so not many manufacturers offer them. Guangdong Wabon Technology is one of the manufacturers which design and produce these holographic touchscreen devices. With our rich experience in researching and producing touchable intelligent hardware, we believe that we will provide you with the products you exactly want.
