Created for Intel’s booth at Oracle Open World our 16′ wide by 6.4′ tall 4HD multi touch wall is one of the worlds largest and highest resolution seamless multi touch displays ever created featuring a whopping 4320 x 1920 pixels.

The wall featured 4 x Intel Shady Cove Dual 6-Core XEON processors with 12 GB of RAM, nVidia 480 Graphic Cards 5000 Lumen and Panasonic HD 5000 Lumen projectors.

The system was built in Processing using the MPE libaray, Traer Physics, and a custom TUIO library port.

The wall featured 500 individually designed cubes with interlinking content.

The total project design and development time was pulled off in less than 3 months.

The article links to one of our videos — but this one is better…

Yesterday we played with an app called Holographium made by Taptanium available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. It uses a photographic technique that was developed to draw 3-dimensional typography using light from a screen in dark environments. We took the shot using an exposure of 10 seconds.
