Neonode Inc., the optical touch technology company, today announces that its MultiSensing Technology is integrated into One Laptop Per Child’s (OLPC) new XO-4 Touch.
This laptop convertible is developed to be virtually childproof, with strict requirements for safety, durability, cost, and power-efficiency.
OLPC’s requirements include:
- Exceptional power efficiency, that supports hand-crank charging
- A touch-based user interface that works without adding cover-glass, thereby maximizing glare-free readability in sunlight
- Integration of low-cost parts that are durable, yet easily replaced and repaired
- Touch functionality in less-than-ideal environments that may include dust, dirt, and moisture
