Planar and Corning Partner to Showcase Retail Applications of the Future at CES 2014

Planar Systems has partnered with Corning Incorporated, the world leader in specialty glass and ceramics, to introduce a sample interactive retail storefront at CES 2014 next week in Las Vegas. In the Corning booth at CES, the Planar® UltraRes™ Series 84" 4K LCD will provide show attendees the opportunity to browse through a simulated window storefront where retail selections can be made without ever setting foot in a store.  Planar and Corning's collaboration of specialty materials, hardware, and software demonstrates how immersive displays can conform to lifestyle and application, a vision exemplified in Corning’s viral “A Day Made of Glass” video.

Here’s what to expect at the Corning booth:

• Experts will be on hand to discuss and present demonstrations of the toughness of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance™, the effectiveness of Corning’s new antimicrobial glass, and the capabilities of Corning’s antireflective surface treatments. 
• The booth will also showcase the benefits of Corning Gorilla Glass in both active and passive formats for education, automotive, appliances, and architecture.
