Multitouch Screen – The Aftermath
Published by Codrut Nistor, on April 1st, 2009, in the categories: 3D Displays
If nobody tried to fool you today, you really have a lonely life. If you don't agree with that, then all the people you know are really boring. Try changing something, because you don't get to live twice! Just as a side note - I believe in reincarnation, but since the generally approved opinion is that you only live once...
...why not get the best out of this short stay on earth, and use the multitouch 3D sphere? I know, it's a bit outdated - magicians in virtually any movie having some poor wizard use 3D multitouch spheres, but now it seems we also have the layout of such a device, pictured above! ;)
According to Ubergizmo, "Moixa has plans to roll out a new method of interacting with computers by using its 3D interactive multi-touch sphere which can be used to display the world, browse web pages as well as control interactive games." It doesn't cook? Whatta pity!
What seems to be a statement from the company says "the device supports multi-touch interactions for zoom, selection, as well as 6 degree rotational and gyroscopic actions, with particular application in interactive games or complex control situations such as interacting with a nearby 3D screen or virtual space."
The multitouch screen is dead, get ready for the multitouch sphere! Still don't believe it? Wait, there's even some official page of this "upcoming product," here. Looking good, heh?
Any comments? Too bad it's the 1st of April, this would have been an awesome product, really! :D

At InfoComm 2008 between June 18 and June 20, largest displays manufacturers and designers will showcase their latest technologies and upcoming TV/monitor models. Philips will present a 52-inch 3D display destined for digital signage industry, pro-AV and entertainment. It uses the WOWvx technology based on the 2D-plus-Depth format including Declipse, providing outstanding 3D imaging with no need for wearing special glasses.
2D+Depth refers at the regular 2D representation of the images with a depth-map which indicates the distance between each pixel and the viewer. The user gets a 3D imaging impression.
“With our new 52-inch 3D display in the portfolio, we can offer the pro-AV and digital signage market an even higher degree of immersion and a more exciting 3D viewing experience,” said Jos Swillens, CEO of Philips 3D Solutions . “Our broad range of 3D display product – in combination with our full range of content creation tools and our licensing program – makes us a true end-to-end 3D system solution provider”.
The Philips 3D display is an auto-stereoscopic model with 1920 x 1080 full High Definition LCD technology, high 700 cd/m2 brightness, 2000:1 contrast ratio, and 8 ms response time. Auto-stereoscopic 3D displays with support for the Declipse image format enhance the 3D viewing providing the look-around effect and background details.
Philips 3D display will be available on the market starting quarter 4 this year, when we’ll find out the pricing details.
