A FlipTouch 32 inch display is built to move, and that is exactly why Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Skudai, Johor picked one up. Instead of being fixed to a single meeting room or lecture hall, this portable touchscreen travels between departments, event spaces and service counters across the campus.
In this post, we look at why universities like UTM Skudai choose a mobile touchscreen over a fixed display, and where a FlipTouch 32 inch display fits into everyday campus life, from the office to an exhibition booth.
Why UTM Skudai Chose a Portable Touchscreen Display
A university campus rarely needs a display in just one place. One week it might be a faculty briefing, the next an open day booth, and after that a walk-in counter that needs a more interactive way to share information. Instead of installing separate fixed screens for each of these situations, UTM Skudai opted for a FlipTouch 32 inch display that staff can wheel to wherever it is needed.
That flexibility is the main reason a portable touchscreen makes sense for a university setting. One unit can support several departments and event types, rather than sitting idle between uses. A fixed installation still has its place in a permanent meeting room or lecture hall, but for departments that host different activities from week to week, moving one high-quality display to wherever it is needed is often more practical than budgeting for several separate screens.
This is particularly relevant for a large campus like UTM Skudai, where administrative offices, faculties and event spaces are spread across different buildings. Rather than routing every visitor or student to one central screen, staff can bring the display to where people already are, whether that is a service counter, a faculty lobby or an open day booth.
Where a FlipTouch 32 Inch Display Fits On Campus
A mobile touchscreen this size can support several different needs on a university campus, including:
- Office and administration: a touchscreen at a service counter or department office lets staff walk visitors through information interactively instead of pointing at a printed notice.
- Exhibitions and open days: the unit can be wheeled straight to a booth, giving visitors and prospective students a touch-based way to explore programmes or campus information.
- Interactive presentations: lecturers and staff can bring the display into a seminar room or briefing session for a more engaging, touch-driven presentation.
- Meetings and briefings: the same unit can move into a meeting room when a department needs a larger interactive screen for a workshop or discussion.
Key Benefits of a Mobile Touchscreen for Universities
Beyond simply being portable, a FlipTouch 32 inch display gives university staff a few practical advantages. It reduces the need to purchase separate fixed screens for every room or event, since one unit serves several purposes throughout the semester. Setup is straightforward, so staff who are not AV specialists can move and use it without needing constant technical support. The touch interface also makes presentations and public information more engaging for students, visitors and staff alike compared to a static poster or printed banner.
Budget is another consideration for public universities, which often need to justify equipment purchases against a limited allocation. A single mobile touchscreen that can be redeployed across departments and events tends to offer better long-term value than several fixed units that are each only used occasionally.
Setting Up a FlipTouch Display: What to Expect
One of the reasons a portable touchscreen suits a busy department is how little effort it takes to move and use. Staff can reposition the unit between a meeting room, an office counter or an event booth without calling in a technician each time, and it is ready to use again within minutes of being wheeled into place.
For an institution like UTM Skudai, that means the same FlipTouch unit can support a morning briefing in one building and an afternoon exhibition booth in another, without needing separate equipment or extended setup time in between.

Final Thoughts
UTM Skudai’s use of a FlipTouch 32 inch display shows how one portable touchscreen can serve several purposes across a busy university campus, from everyday office use to exhibitions and interactive presentations. For institutions weighing up a fixed display against a mobile one, the flexibility to move a single unit wherever it is needed is often the deciding factor.
As more Malaysian universities look for ways to make offices, events and presentations more interactive without expanding their AV budget, a mobile touchscreen like the FlipTouch offers a practical middle ground between a printed banner and a full fixed installation.
