Fancy a touch screen monitor for your office set-up? Thanks to Albatron Minority Report-like work style could soon be a reality. Reportedly, Albatron recently announced its new Optical Touch Monitor (OTM), on course with a new era of Multi Touch Panel monitors. In the 22-inch multi-touch monitor movement is tracked with infrared light, optical sensors and reflection bars surrounding the screen on the edges of the frame.

The first shipments of the OTM monitor will have a 21.5” screen with FULL HD capabilities. Performance reaches 120 points/second refresh rates, which is higher than most touch monitors which rarely exceed 100 points/second. The connectors include a DVI port, DSub port which receive traditional video and graphics from a PC. An Audio Line-Out port can attach to external speakers. A USB 2.0 connector is used to relay “touch” navigation information to the PC.

The OTM supports both Windows XP and Vista, and is expected to reach the market in March 2009.
