	Days after Sharp rolled out a $160,000 108″ LCD TV comes news of a new addition that turns the low cost $60,000 103″ Panasonic plasma display into a touch screen. First revealed on CNN during the recent US elections the new capability was developed by UK Company U-Touch. The London-based company says the technology “can be applied to numerous applications and high demanding environments such as: events, gaming, broadcast, media, military, government, education & corporate.” To turn a large format LCD or plasma display into an interactive screen all you have to do is attach the U-Touch screen over the front of a large format display system. U Touch claim that applications using the Touch screen are limitless, ranging from teaching room collaboration to public information kiosks in a host of demanding environments.
