Ideum creates an ultra-wide screen multitouch table exhibit exploring the electromagnetic spectrum
The currently unnamed device--which is being called an "ultra-wide screen multitouch table exhibit exploring the electromagnetic spectrum"--is based around the company's MT-50 multi-touch, multi-user table. Clearly this one is designed to be used by businesses more so than actual consumers (unless you've got a 20,000 square foot home just dying for a few new accessories), with a 16x5 aspect ratio and a display resolution of 2304x800. All told, it's a 100" surface with an 86" viewable area, making it one of the largest contiguous multi-touch tables ever made.
It was developed for the Space Chase Gallery at the Adventure Science Center, and it'll be a part of an exhibit that opens up to the public on November 7th. The table can support over 50 simultaneous touch points, enabling a whole bunch of onlookers to touch and interact with it at once. So much for waiting in line for your turn, huh? The software on it was based around Adobe's Flash and the company's own GestureWorks framework, the latter of which will be on sale to other devs in early December. There's no word on just how expensive this thing would be for the average joe, but we're guessing it'd be way out of most budgets, anyway
