Digital learning with CTOUCH

Touchscreen solutions manufacturer CTOUCH recently linked up with Barco and Kinly to construct a virtual classroom at its headquarters, to help people carry on learning during the ongoing novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

The new facility at its site in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, makes it possible for companies and institutes to organise interactive trainings and classes with co-workers, students or partners from all over the world.

The virtual classroom features seven wall-mounted 55” Christie UHD551-L LCD displays with 4K native resolution, with attendees able observe the session from three different angles.

A front view Logitech MeetUp camera, a top view Panasonic AW-HE60 camera and a side view AW-HE60 camera are all available for manual selection during sessions in the virtual facility.

In addition, Barco’s integrated weConnect system, making it possible to build a virtual classroom between six and 112 participants, all of whom are visible via the displays on the wall.

What makes our virtual training room unique, is that we’ve been able to integrate our touchscreens in it”

CTOUCH chief executive Remmelt van der Woude comments: “At this moment, there are only a couple of these training facilities in the Netherlands. The latest one is built here at our CTOUCH office in Eindhoven.

“What makes our virtual training room unique, is that we’ve been able to integrate our touchscreens in it. This adds an extra dimension to an interactive training, since everybody in the session is able to see what’s happening on the touchscreen, in real-time.

“With Barco’s weConnect SaaS solution as a backbone and the expertise that Kinly provided in facilitating the complete solution, I’m happy that we enable ourselves and other companies to effectively train, teach and coach teams in these challenging times.”
