Retailers and marketers are calling for more touchless solutions, with consumers now less likely to interact with more traditional touchscreen devices over concerns related to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19).

As such, Videotel has made its new Infrared Touchless Buttons available across its full array of touchless interactive products.

The Infrared Touchless Buttons allow touchless triggering within 3 inches of the surface, which eliminates the need for physical contact, and also include a change of colour, signalling the user that the button has responded.

Lisa Schneider, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Videotel Digital, says: “Videotel Digital’s new Infrared LED buttons are a perfect solution for any interactive displays, kiosks, museum exhibits, and medical facilities, especially where you want to take interactive touch signage and turn it into a touchless alternative.”

The new range comprises five products, the first of which is Move Motion Senser, a customisable solution that allows users to make Videotel player interactively trigger individual or multiple video files to show content when a viewer is detected.

The Sense Proximity Sensor is designed with ‘smart sensors’ that detect the approach of a viewer and play different messages based on a viewer’s proximity.

Wave to Play allows an ‘attract screen’ to loop seamlessly until a hand wave motion triggers a selling message, while Tap Interactive is activated via a foot pedal, which allows the user to trigger screen content without using their hands.

In addition, QR - available in Videotel Digital’s free digital signage cloud software - enables messaging to include a QR code, which, once photographed, will then automatically transfer to a smartphone for touchless screen navigation, allowing the consumer to control screens from their own mobile phone.
