Multitouch creates a new paradigm within large interactive touch screens

The Finnish firm MultiTouch has presented the MultiTaction Cell 55″, an integrated stackable LCD display with an advanced set of touch capabilities, gestures and object recognition. The product, a screen of 55 inches, It is the first to include the new MultiTaction software and hardware platform for large multi-touch LCD screens developed by this company.

El desarrollador de sistemas de visualización interactiva basados en diseños de software y hardware propietario, MultiTouch, adds the MultiTaction Cell 55 to its product catalog″, a Full HD display of only 20 centimeters deep that can accommodate an unlimited number of touch points and simultaneous users with full hand recognition.

MultiTaction is based on MultiTouch's patented Computer Vision Through Screen optical imaging technology for multi-touch displays., and provides the most advanced set of touch capabilities, gestures and object recognition. Multitaction is an innovative way to create an integrated multi-touch LCD display system. The front glass and LCD package is adjusted to allow the integrated optical imaging system to work effectively through it.

With ultra-fast response (more than 200 frames per second), MultiTaction units are designed for interaction with real-life objects - glasses, 2D barcodes or game pieces, For example- and can be stacked to create any size or shape with dozens of units. Frameless slim bezel product design allows the MultiTaction to be incorporated into custom-made furniture.

The multi-touch technology of the future
Petri Martikainen, director general de MultiTouch, commented that “the years of research and market development that we have invested in the creation of MultiTaction have finally paid off in what we know will be the industry's next platform for the creation of powerful multi-touch and multi-user displays.. Thanks to the work we have carried out with the main interactive developers in the world, “We have listened carefully to our customers and have developed the technology that can be used by what we know will be a great community of multi-touch software developers committed to the future.”.

El MultiTaction Cell 55″ emplea la segunda generación de la familia de procesadores Intel Core, that allow faster response to multiple touches on the screen. Adrian Whelan, director of new business at Intel Corporation, has noted in this regard that “the combination of the second generation of Intel Core processors and multi-touch display solutions enables new interactive brand experiences for end users that are both interesting and fun.. “These experiences can effectively address new patterns of interactive consumption in public and retail environments.”.

The most significant advancement of MultiTaction is that its optical multi-touch sensor technology is integrated with the backlight and infrared emitters on an integrated circuit board. (IC), creating a modular camera system that can be expanded to displays larger than 100 inches of high resolution with the same fine design.

Among the advanced features, MultiTaction platform eliminates the most problematic feature of optical touch screens, what is sensitivity to external light, like sunlight, spotlights and other external light sources. MultiTaction incorporates new hybrid tracking technology that combines shadows with infrared reflections for trouble-free operation in any environment.
