MultiTouch, a unique interactive visual experience in the Chile Pavilion at the Expo

MultiTouch and Riolab are developing an interesting wall for the Chile pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in which unlimited users can simultaneously access more than six hours of HD images and thousands of photographs by simply touching the screen.

MultiTouch, developer of the first large format modular touch LCD screen, and Riolab, specialized in interactive communication systems, have launched the largest touch wall installed at a fair. This is the Wall of Chile installed in the Chilean pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai (China), with a 4x1.2 meter screen from which visitors can interact with more than six hours of high-definition material and thousands of photographs contributed by more than 400 authors and hundreds of public and private institutions. As users interact with the wall, this information is transmitted daily to a web in which the content demands of users present at the Expo can be monitored online.

Designed by Francisco Arévalo and his team in Santiago, Chile, the integration of this wall, which involved a four-month development, was executed by MultiTouch CTO. Each of the different 46-inch LCDs that make up the wall has been programmed with MultiTouch Cornerstone software. The MultiTouch computer display system was first introduced for Windows 7 at CES 2010, and has now been updated to numerous protocols such as C/OpenGL; Adobe Flash/Flex/Air; .NET; Microsoft Visual Studio; Silverlight, TUIO and XML, which makes it easy to interconnect with all types of sources and applications.

MultiTouch displays allow multiple users to manipulate images on them, whether in games, maps, images or videos, through actual tracking of fingers and hands. They can be configured in 32-inch or 46-inch LCD formats, stacking in any arrangement. The system allows you to track an unlimited number of hands on the screens at 120 frames per second at an HD resolution of 1920x1080.
