Are we sick of multitouch computers claiming a lot but only good enough to detect maximum 2 finger contacts? Because we have more than two fingers to operate our touchscreen monitors, a German duo of Elektrosil and Citron in respect has figured out a way to develop large displays that can track multiple touches on a multitouch display. And now this is not just a claim.
Dubbed the dreaMTouch, this display as large as 82-inches diagonally can, using a grid of infrared sensors, detect up to 32 simultaneous touch points, which means an entire team can work on a single dreaMTouch. Incorporating a special technique to handle situations like the finger crossing paths, which the previously developed touchscreen desktops have failed to, the dreaMTouch is a 4mm thick piece of plastic coated glass which is added as a layer in front of the screen and the data is transferred via USB. Check the video demonstration after the jump.
