We are busy busy this week at Ideum. We’ve got 4 new MT55 multitouch tables in production, and new build of the Open Exhibits SDK set to drop next week. Stay tuned for all flavors of multi-touch goodness.
Drum Roll please…. Introducing the MT55 Pro International - case. Get the pricing and details about the MT55 Pro multitouch table here.
This just in from our little bird at TED 2012:
Anatomage by Jack Choi is a split-screen multitouch table designed for viewing 3D dissections and autopsy data in life size! The idea is something we have seen before, but the depth of the software and the scale of the display makes this interface refreshing and exciting.
Today we took the MT55 Pro back to the future. A few clients asked about our multitouch table’s compatibility with the antiquated OS, so we shot a quick proof of concept video. Why anyone would want to run a touch based version of Windows XP is beyond me (Hello, McFly; no multi-touch gestures?!).
As it turns out, you can use single touch and drag throughout the Windows XP environment. Unfortunately, right click, click and hold, and all the fancy gestures Microsoft built into Windows 7 are lost. If you plan to use XP (or have a legacy exhibit to retrofit) you can unlock all of the MT55 Pro’s multitouch gestures with GestureWorks and TUIO.
We’ve been hard at work sourcing some new customization options for our multitouch tables. This soon-to-be deployed customized multitouch table features a faux wood finish (that’s an aluminum cabinet), a custom shaped base, and some cast iron “speaker grilles.”
What do think?

Searching for context on our profile pic? Here it is: the infamous Bowling Ball Test. Watch this video to see us drop a bowling ball onto the surface of our MT55 Platform multitouch table. Around here, we call this an “experiment.”
