products and increase market adoption of Baanto's advanced technology,"

a multi-touch capability that provides the intuitive and reliable user interface
expected by today's pilots."
The Baanto ShadowSense multi-touch technology is geared toward larger
display formats and is available in sizes from 12 inches to more than 98
inches. The feature set and capabilities that customers expect in largeformat cockpit displays are now complemented by five or more simultaneous
