Ideum’s 100-inch MT-50 multitouch table supports 50 simultaneous touch points (video)
October 31st, 2009 admin
Surface? What Surface ? Ideum, which popped out a rather gigantic MT2 multitouch table earlier this year, is now introducing another model that makes that fellow look like child’s play. The 100-inch MT-50 is an outright beast, boasting 86 viewable inches, a 16 x 5 aspect ratio and a stunning 2,304 x 800 resolution. It was engineered for the Space Chase Gallery at the Adventure Science Center, which is one of several high-tech exhibits the company has deployed at the Nashville, TN-based science center. The table itself can support over 50 simultaneous touch points, and while the Flash-based software is obviously tailored for learning applications, there’s nothing stopping this …

Multitouch Google Maps and Flickr M...An interactive multitouch enabled Google map with KML overlays allows visitors to pan and zoom around the LA Basin while learning about the weather patterns, wind currents, geologic make-up, and vegetative patterns that have shaped the landscape of southern California. A unique interface switches between English and Spanish, as participants toggle between visual overlays that highlight the fire, air, water, and geologic conditions of the basin. Thematic overlays illustrating phenomenon such as fire risk, water supply, Santa Ana wind patterns, and fault line distribution tell the story of a landscape shaped by a diverse set of influences. Geo-tagged photo and video content, managed by Flickr, is displayed across the map. Visitors can explore this content through the use of intuitive gestures, building the basins story through discovery. Flipping the images over reveals embedded metadata to assist the exhibit narrative. Designed to run on Ideum's multitouch and multiuser table platform, this versatile exhibit allows several visitors to explore content simultaneously. Using multitouch gestures, users can scale, zoom, and pass virtual objects around the table. Title, author, and narrative information about each photograph can be viewed in context in English and Spanish, with the photos source tied visually to its location on the underling map. The multitouch software was developed using gestureworks, Adobe Flash, Google Maps, and KML. Content management is handled via Flickr <b>...</b>
100" Multitouch Table - EM Spe...A view of the 100" multitouch, multiuser exhibit table developed by Ideum for Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The table has two computers and projects and a contiguous surface that allows several people to interact simultaneously with the same program. With a 100" surface and an 86" viewable area is it among one of the largest contiguous multitouch tables ever developed. The screen has a 16 x 5 ratio aspect and a 2304 x 800 pixel, high-resolution screen. The exhibit explores the electromagnetic spectrum. The extended aspect ratio mimics the spectrum itself, from radio waves to gamma rays. Visitors can then move images across the table and see how they are imaged in each waveform. The exhibit displays a variety of celestial and terrestrial images in a variety of wavelengths. For example, NASA images of the sun can be seen in all wavelengths. Common and iconic objects were photographed in a variety of wavelengths. For example, a birthday cake with lit candles, a toy robot, an alarm clock, and even a hand holding an iphone are seen in visible, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-ray. The haptic tempered glass and aluminum and steel construction make the table incredibly durable. Blue LED lighting makes the table stand out. The application was developed using Adobe Flash and gestureworks, a multitouch framework and SDK for Flash. This interactive exhibit will be part of the Space Chase Gallery at the Adventure Science Center. This exhibit will be open to the public <b>...</b>
