A view of the 100" multitouch, multiuser exhibit table developed by Ideum with Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The exhibit is part of a large gallery space at the museum which focuses on astronomy.

The table has two computers and projects and a contiguous surface that allows several people to interact simultaneously with the same program.

With a 100" surface and an 86" viewable area is it among one of the largest contiguous multitouch tables ever developed. The screen has a 16 x 5 ratio aspect and a 2304 x 800 pixel, high-resolution screen.

The exhibit explores the electromagnetic spectrum. The extended aspect ratio mimics the spectrum itself, from radio waves to gamma rays. Visitors can then move images across the table and see how they are imaged in each waveform.

The exhibit displays a variety of celestial and terrestrial images in a variety of wavelengths. For example, NASA images of the sun can be seen in all wavelengths. Common and iconic objects were photographed in a variety of wavelengths. For example, a birthday cake with lit candles, a toy robot, an alarm clock, and even a hand holding an iPhone are seen in visible, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-ray.

The haptic tempered glass and aluminum and steel construction make the table incredibly durable. Blue LED lighting makes the table stand out.

The application was developed using Adobe Flash and GestureWorks (www.gestureworks.com), a multitouch framework and SDK for Flash.

This interactive exhibit is part of Space Chase Gallery at the Adventure Science Center. The exhibit will be open to the public on November 7th. The table is based on Ideum's commercially available MT-50 Multitouch Table.
