It is a fantastic example of how by merging technologies we can create new, innovative ways for human-computer interaction," said Hannu Anttila, VP Sales of MultiTouch Ltd. The Bubblescreen application using Kinect was developed by EIT ICT Labs with MultiTouch Cornerstone SDK. "The display array, made of stackable MultiTaction Cells, recognizes unlimited touch points which means we can accommodate a very large number of users. The company has already sold interactive displays in over 40 countries around the world and recently launched its third generation MultiTaction product line. was originally established by researchers from Aalto University, which is one of the core partners of EIT ICT Labs Helsinki. This cooperation enabled the scientific knowledge to be transferred immediately into this new business tool. has provided researchers with support and information from real use cases from all around the globe. The goal of EIT ICT Labs researchers has been to learn more about and develop concepts for delivering information in public spaces using large interactive displays. "Cooperation with MultiTouch has brought added value to both parties." "The wall is an example of how EIT ICT Labs boosts European competitiveness by bringing academic research, education and business together," says Professor Marko Turpeinen, Node Director EIT ICT Labs Helsinki. On the interactive wall made of eight MultiTaction(R) Cell 55" modular multi-user touch displays and four Microsoft Kinect(R) 3D motion sensing cameras, visitors can playfully learn about EIT ICT Labs activities using a user interface developed by EIT ICT Labs researchers. The multitouch wall with 3D motion sensing cameras reacts to new potential users passing by and lures them to touch the wall and explore the content when they approach it.

Hannover, MaThe European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) ICT Labs and MultiTouch Ltd. "At scientific meetings this technology is excellent in a situation where a group of users need to simultaneously view a microscopy sample, for example when a consensus needs to be reached concerning a new disease entity or a rare case.Smart space research results in the integration of a five-meter-wide MultiTouch wall with Kinect 3D motion sensing camerasĬeBIT 2012, Hall 26, Stand F50, in Hannover, Germany. "The learning curve is practically zero as compared to conventional microscopy which can be quite challenging for students," says the University of Helsinki's Dr Johan Lundin.
Giant, even wall size, screens could be used where groups of researchers or students and their teachers can all manipulate the image on the system, which is able to recognize the hands of multiple users at the same time. The image size of these samples can be up to 200 gigabytes and the image mosaic can be viewed over the internet using a web browser on your computer, smart phone or in this case – a 46-inch interactive screen. The virtual slide which is created is composed of up to 50000 separate digital images organized into a mosaic of the sample at high magnification. It works with biological samples which are digitized using a microscopy scanner and then stored on an image server. Web based virtual microscopy was developed a few years ago by the Universities Of Helsinki and Tampere. The Multitouch microscope uses a combination of web based microscopy and a 46-inch multitouch display to create what researcher Dr Johan Lundin calls "an iPad on steroids." A useful tool for interactive teaching and learning, the microscope allows users to zoom in or out with a two handed stretch or pinch gesture – all the way down to 1000x magnification. Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) have collaborated with Finnish company Multitouch Ltd to create a giant touch and gesture controlled microscope.
