Multi-Touch Interface Research

With the help of the Technical University Vienna we improved the tracking software to work with our new table and surface. It is working fast and reliable in controlled light settings. We and the university have some ideas to improve it and will do more research in this area.

As announced, we produced a proper case for our first multi-touch prototype, which we developed for the Vienna-based company ZONE. It integrates all our research results from the last months. As described, the table uses FTIR technology, but now we managed to still have a non-scratchable and easy to clean surface, which is also sexy to touch. It works best in dark light conditions inside buildings, because we decided to work without a silicone layer. The case is robust and can be transported easily. It is made of MDF wood, has 2 maintainence notches and as a little extra we added a stainless steel frame on top. The size of the display increased a little, and is 150 cm by 95 cm now. With a very convenient height of 85 cm, it is suited for 6 persons to work simultaneously around the table.

Demo videos and photos of the table in action can be expected soon.
