MultiTouch Cornerstone computer vision now recognizes 2D bar codes set on the MultiTouch Cell, a Full HD LCD.
With these fiducial markers, users can create natural relationships between physical objects and the application. For instance, they can place a product sample on the display to start the application. Personalized bar codes can be used to identify individual users.
It is easy to develop and implement multi-touch applications running on screens from 20" right up to 20 m. A client can use a MultiTouch Cell as a table or as a wall. A cell can be used as an individual unit or several cells can be combined to form a larger table or wall.
That allows the client to implement remarkably richer set of interactions. It also allows the client to track multiple users even if they interact close to – or reach across – one another. That is crucial in large scale installations.
It works natively on a range of Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.
Multiple users can use the displays simultaneously with their both hands. That makes a clear difference to dual- and single-touch displays.
There is no need to change lamps or filters which minimizes operational costs. The LCD display front glass is scratch resistant which is essential in public places.
This makes it possible to use MultiTouch Ltd’s displays even outside and halls where lighting is changing.
