IR touch screen frame with Remote Server

[mkurver 6]

Hi,

I have been using Remote Server for a CDU on my Ipad and I absolute love it!

I would like to take it a step further and create an overhead panel using Remote Server with one of these infrared touch frames I will place over a 40" tv to turn it into a touchscreen.

Does anybody have experience with this? Does it work well?

That sounds awesome! Sorry I don't have experience with those but I connected a 24" Dell touch screen monitor to a Microsoft Surface, and it worked great on my test flight tonight.

Well....I can confirm that it works very well!

I'm inspired to take the plunge on a similar overhead setup.

When one considers the cost and complexity of an overhead hardware setup, even a 50" HDTV with touch overlay is an elegant and inexpensive solution.

Plus it flexes across type (737/747/777). 

My wife will think it's insane but what's new!

Very cool indeed! Plus I'm sure your wife will be happy - think of the money you saved over a hardware solution 😉
