Hard Rock Cafe Multi-Touch, Multi-user wall, Las Vegas

18'x4' 6000 (well, almost, it is 3x1920 projectors) pixel multi-user, multi-touch display. This is the Rock Wall at the Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas, possibly the most technologically advanced restaurant in the world. This display wall can accommodate up to 6 users at once or can just be used by one, to browse the entire inventory of Hard Rock photo and video memorabilia in real time, and at full resolution.

Most of the imagery is around 4K, but some goes up to 6K, so the whole display becomes one image, allowing for extremely fast and "deep" zooming capabilities.

As multiple users join the experience, they are dynamically given a "workspace" in which they can share in the experience.

The audio system was provided by TechnoMedia Solutions, and allows for truly localized audio for each user to watch videos or hear music, while not interfering with other users.

We pull the content from the Hard Rock website, and use a central CMS, so that it is always accurate and up to date. We worked with Vertigo to integrate this piece.

Steve Mason from Obscura Digital gave a presentation at FITC 2009 about how they use Scaleform's hardware accelerated Flash technology, Scaleform GFx, and powerful NVidia GPUs to power the wall.

Yeah, Steve heads up our UI/UX group here. He is responsible for designing most of the user interaction and how it actually functions when someone touches it. its not that easy designing interaction for multi-users, especially in public places. Lots of focus groups and design reviews went into the usability of the wall. We do a ton of work with the Quadroplex systems, its the only way to really pump out that much resolution these days.
