What to do with a 32" ELO Touchscreen?
« on: May 17, 2015, 12:38:45 am »
Nabbed a couple of 32" ELO touch screens for REALLY cheap off Craigslist.  One of them is going to be turned into a jukebox for my brother.  He just moved into his first apartment and this should make a nice addition to his place.

The other one, well, I have no clue what to do with it.  I already have a jukebox and I don't really use it very much.
Any ideas?  I've thought about turning it into some sort of arcade machine, like a Megatouch, but I'm not really sold on that idea.

I'm posting here in the hopes that others could stoke the creative juices.
32" is a large touch screen.  How can I best make use of it?

I've seen big Fruit Ninja games that utilize a large touch screen. Maybe make a "tablet games" arcade? Temple run, angry birds, fruit ninja, etc.  :dunno

I was thinking the same thing.  Kids would definitely get a kick out of it.

How do shooting games work with a touchscreen? It would be a really dangerous idea probably that would end up with a broken screen if people got too excited but it might be a fun test. Not arcade accurate at all but maybe an interesting re-purposing.

I'd use it as an info center that hangs on the wall in a common area. We use tablets for something like this in our home. They're powered by android, so the home screen widgets show live feeds of our security cameras, family calendar, weather, music control and lots of other useful information. All the other apps are right there too (contacts, google now, maps, games, skype, voicemail, etc...). We have some home controls built in too (sprinklers, lights, garages, heating/cooling, etc...).
