Great Wall of MultiTouch

MultiTouch Ltd has assembled the world's largest multitouch LCD wall. The entire wall is covered by 14 Full HD LCD units (46 inch each) that are connected together to form a one huge multitouch display. There are over 29
megapixels in the created single display system.

The multitouch wall recognizes and tracks each user's set of hands individually, allowing more than 10 people to access the system simultaneously.

On the display, there are hundreds of movable objects created by complex applications. These applications were created by using MultiTouch Cornerstone SDK. Three computers provided the processing power for graphics
rendering, touch tracking and sound tasks.

nice and useless

[Shakespeare1612]

Nothing that is nice looking enough is useless. This wall is clearly capable of making someone want to walk into my bar, casino, or stay at my hotel. There for I think that it would pay for itself. Of course it could be better, with even better software. Why can't I upload my OWN photos? Add some goals to make it an actual game? Teach something? Maybe present information about how my hotel was constructed. I'm telling you this wall has potential.

I must agree with Shakespeare1612. It looks to me that this is a multimedia instalation (great one!!), it's only for experimentation purposes. The thing here is, that this can be adapted to a specific goal (comercial or educational), and then it has to respect to some usability rules, it depends on the project itself.

There is a lot of potential in this.

I agree. Nice looking but useless.
