18-Foot Multitouch Wall and New Multitouch Tech Hit the Streets

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday September 11, 2009 @10:11AM from the multitouched-in-the-head dept.

Danny writes to tell us that Obscura Digital has launched their largest multitouch wall yet. 18 feet of multitouch surface is divided to allow six simultaneous users, each with their own targeted audio. The massive wall can handle 100 hi-res images and videos together in real-time. Relatedly, Atmel recently announced the release of their "maXTouch" technology, which delivers a capacitive touchscreen that boasts a refresh rate and signal-to-noise ratio that's 66% better than their nearest competitor. Hopefully this means massive multitouch surfaces will be coming into my home sooner rather than later.

A very long stick with a rubber thing on the end may come in handy. Either that or buy a dart gun and just shoot at it.
