One of the biggest benefit of the ULTRA technology is the micro glass on top that makes it completely waterproof. The technology is pressure activated and works perfectly with a gloved hand or even submerged.
In contrast to regular resistive touch screens the ULTRA touch screen is completely impermeable. You can permanently expose an ULTRA to rough salty sea air or permanent rain. Moisture does not affect a properly sealed ULTRA. The surface of the ULTRA is borosilicate glass which is impervious to any kind of liquids. Therefor the ULTRA touch technology is perfect for demanding environments like unattended outdoor kiosk applications.
