What is HoverTap™ / NZTech’s Ruggesd Touchless Screen Interface
What is HoverTap™?
Next-Generation Outdoor Touchscreen Technology**
HoverTap™ is a breakthrough touchscreen technology engineered for rugged, outdoor, and high-traffic environments. Unlike traditional PCAP or IR systems, HoverTap works reliably through thick protective cover glass, with an optional air-gap for added heat buffering and vandal-resistant durability — all while maintaining smooth, modern touchscreen interaction.
It’s built for outdoor kiosks, amusement parks, transit screens, EV charging, ticketing, and any deployment where screens must survive sunlight, heat, moisture, gloves, and public abuse.
For Outdoor Touchscreen Kiosks, Ticketing, and Wayfinding
HoverTap™ enables outdoor kiosks to operate the way they should — bright, durable, responsive, and consistently interactive. It supports both touch and near-touch gestures, even when the screen is protected by thick glass or plastic.
The technology performs reliably through:
- Vandal-resistant cover glass (up to 1″ with optional air-gap)
- Heat buildup and direct sunlight
- Rain, humidity, and wet surfaces
- Winter, rain, and work gloves
HoverTap lets kiosk manufacturers deliver outdoor screens that stay functional in the toughest real-world conditions.
