Review on Enhanced Touchscreen Experience with GreenTouch Points Infrared Overlay Screen 32 - GT-IR-F32.0-1 by Albert Romero

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Problems with old games (No mouse emulation)

Sent back to seller. I couldn't get it to work anywhere other than the Windows desktop. It arrived within 4 days via Revain UPS. It has been packaged in a mailing tube to provide maximum protection from damage in transit. Assembly is done with the supplied screwdriver and takes about half an hour on a clean, flat work surface. This frame is made from extruded aluminum and all the LEDs and displays are located within the extrusion. Again very well protected. I assembled it, plugged it into a USB port, and was up and running right away. It works better than my 73 year old fingers, but practice makes it perfect and my desktop touchscreen gets better. I found the pencil eraser to be a great pen to set up, especially with small desktop icons. It actually works very well, especially after calibrating the touch point with Windows 10's settings. Just search for the word "touch" and you'll find it. For temporary placement above the TV, I braced the underside of the frame with scrap wood and attached it to the TV frame with EZ Tack putty. This allows fine tuning for initial testing and calibration without major adhesives or equipment. Use old playing cards to fine-tune the height to get the desired result. Touchscreen surveillance. What I assumed would make flight simulators more immersive turned out to be dead wrong in my opinion. Since the head tracker is constantly changing the view on the screen, finding and touching an on-screen object like [Left Magneto] is far from intuitive. Even if I "freeze" the TrackIR view, it's still difficult to find and touch a control. It's like using your finger as a mouse on an uncomfortably large touchpad. It's also very easy to make the wrong choice. A mouse is far more accurate to me than touching the screen and also keeps my screen far cleaner than dirty fingertips! I find that additional physical controls with switches, sliders and knobs positioned properly around your "cockpit" office add a lot more degrees. more realistic than a touchscreen.

Pros
  • work great
Cons
  • Limited Connectivity
