Nebula AI: The Next Evolution of Intelligent Touchscreen Displays

Devices that can keep up with an AI Driven World

As AI rapidly moves from the cloud to the edge, businesses are looking for hardware that can keep up — devices that can think, analyse, and respond in real time, without depending on remote servers. That’s exactly why we at Crystal Display Systems (CDS) are excited to introduce the Nebula AI Series, developed by our trusted partner Glory Star and now available across the UK and Europe exclusively through CDS.

This powerful suite of AI-enabled touchscreen systems — available in 10.1″, 15.6″, and 21.5″ — brings together next-generation processing, high-brightness displays, intelligent connectivity, and a complete ecosystem of secure kiosk and device-management tools. Whether you’re building a check-in kiosk, an AI assistant, a smart retail experience, or an industrial automation panel, Nebula AI delivers the power and flexibility to make it happen.

AI at the Edge: Performance That Sets Nebula AI Apart

At the heart of every Nebula AI device is a Quad-core Cortex-A72 and Quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, paired with 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, and the latest Android 15 operating system. But the real game-changer is the built-in 6 TOPS NPU (Neural Processing Unit), enabling:

  • Real-time inference

  • Large Language Model (LLM) execution on the device

  • Object, face, and voice recognition

  • Gesture and posture analysis

  • Deep learning workloads without cloud dependency

On-device AI means lower latency, reduced operating cost, and enhanced privacy — a massive advantage for sectors handling sensitive data such as healthcare, retail, and industrial automation.

Designed for Clarity, Built for Interaction

Each size option in the Nebula AI family is engineered for crisp visuals and flawless touch performance:

  • High brightness displays:

    • 10.1″: 500 cd/m² (425 cd/m² with touch)

    • 15.6″ / 21.5″: up to 500 cd/m²

  • Resolutions up to 1920 × 1080

  • Optical-bonded G+G 10-point capacitive touch

  • Anti-glare glass

  • ≥6H hardness, ≥85% transparency

  • Precise finger and stylus input

These displays stay bright in challenging lighting and remain durable even in heavy-use environments like gyms, shop floors, and hospitality venues.

Flexible Connectivity for AI-Driven Experiences

The Nebula AI Series is built for integration. Across the range, you’ll find:

  • WiFi 6 (2.4GHz & 5GHz)

  • Bluetooth 5.0

  • 100/1000 LAN with PoE (standard on 10.1″ & 15.6″, optional on 21.5″)

  • Optional 4G (on larger models)

  • USB 3.0, USB-C, RJ45, TF slot, GPIO, UART, Wiegand, audio port

This makes it incredibly easy to connect:

  • Barcode scanners (e.g., Newland, Zebra)

  • RFID/NFC readers (Elatec, HID)

  • Cameras and sensors (ambient, proximity)

  • Smart access modules

  • Industrial IoT peripherals

Whether you’re building a POS terminal, a smart check-in station, or an industrial control surface, Nebula AI has the ports to make it possible.

A Complete Kiosk & Digital Signage Software Ecosystem

What really elevates the Nebula AI range is the software suite — all designed to keep devices secure, remote-manageable, and content-ready.

⭐ STAROS (Pre-Installed, License-Free)

A secure kiosk mode that locks the device into single-app or multi-app configurations. Ideal for self-service installations.

⭐ STAR CONTROL (Optional MDM Platform)

A cloud-based mobile device management system for remote updates, app control, automation, monitoring, and security.

⭐ MUSEA Digital Signage

Create, schedule, and distribute interactive content remotely — perfect for retail, hospitality, and educational environments.

⭐ Star Tool (Open-Source API)

For developers who need full control over hardware features like barcode scanning, RFID, or OTA updates.

This ecosystem makes the Nebula AI Series exceptionally easy to deploy at scale.

Compact Powerhouse: Spotlight on the 10.1" Model

While the Nebula AI range spans three sizes, the 10.1” model shines as a compact and versatile solution for:

  • Self-service kiosks

  • Restaurant ordering stations

  • Customer feedback terminals

  • Smart access control

  • Healthcare check-in

  • Small-footprint retail kiosks

  • Hotel check-in solutions

Weighing just 1.1kg, made from durable flame-retardant ABS, and supporting VESA mount, table mount, shelf mount, and wall mounting, it fits into virtually any environment.

And yes — despite its compact size, it still features the full AI NPU, Android 15, high brightness, PoE, and complete software suite.

Optional Accessories to Build Your Perfect AI Kiosk

CDS offers a broad set of accessories to fully customise your Nebula AI deployment:

  • 1D & 2D barcode scanners

  • RFID/NFC readers

  • Magnetic card readers

  • Shelf, table, and wall mounts

  • External sensors

  • Camera modules

Perfect for building fitness consoles, employee access terminals, wayfinding stations, restaurant order points, or intelligent POS systems.
