World's Largest Multitouch LCD Powered by Sandy Bridge
MultiTouch today launched what it claims to be the largest LCD multi-touch display, powered by Intel's Sandy Bridge.
The MultiTaction Cell is a modular, 55-inch integrated LCD screen that can be combined into massive touch screen walls that support an unlimited number of users. Up to 24 displays can be stacked to run a single application. User input tracking is achieved via backlight emitter camera modules.
The screens come with a frameless, thin-bezel design that allows customers to build the Cell devices into any type of environment, including custom furniture, MultiTouch said. The displays can also be displayed horizontally and compete directly with Microsoft's Surface technology.
"The years of research and market development that we have poured into creating MultiTaction have finally yielded what we now know to be the industry’s next platform for creating powerful multi-user multitouch displays," said Petri Martikainen, CEO of MultiTouch, in a prepared statement. "By working with the world’s leading interactive developers, we have carefully listened to our customers and developed technology that can be used by what we know will be a large community of multitouch software developers committed to touching the future."
The screen has an active display area of 1209 x 680 mm and delivers 1080p resolution. The brightness is 250 cd/m2 and the contrast ratio is 4000:1. The software and high response time of 200 fps is driven by Intel Sandy Bridge processors. The power consumption is 450 watts per screen.
There was no information on price.
What do you think it'd be used for? To play Crysis! I'm kidding.
My guess would be interactive information kiosks for airports, hotels, businesses, etc. That or interactive, life-sized porn. Either way, I'd like to see the implementation.

more simultaneous users.
Isn't response time measured in milliseconds? And does this statement also imply that they've got HD 3000 graphics running this?
well.. 100fps is 0.1 ms, so it must have 0.05ms response time?
Millisecond is thousandths. 10000 fps is .1 ms. 200fps is 5 ms.
s like saying I have the world's biggest cow because I have the most cows together in one pen.
Response time is not the same as throughput.
first thing i can think of is to conduct a war on, track my assets, troops and targets, co-ordinate forces for attacks and defenses strategies in real time with the option for simulation projections with mini windows projecting live video from each that can be expanded to fit a whole panel so that h/q can watch what's going on as it is happening and assess each situation.
or i could run a tv network operation and cut down on equipment costs and staff.
while it would be a bit exotic, i suppose you could manage a large retail corporation as well. maybe keep an eye on that lazy bum up in sector 7G?
with the right software anything is possible, but what i'd really love to do is run an RTS game on it!
