Multitouch in public venues

September 25 2009

(from Link Social)

18’x4′ 6000 (well, almost, it is 3×1920 projectors) pixel multi-user, multi-touch display. This is the Rock Wall at the Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas, possibly the most technologically advanced restaurant in the world. This display wall can accommodate up to 6 users at once or can just be used by one, to browse the entire inventory of Hard Rock photo and video memorabilia in real time, and at full resolution. 

Most of the imagery is around 4K, but some goes up to 6K, so the whole display becomes one image, allowing for extremely fast and “deep” zooming capabilities. 

As multiple users join the experience, they are dynamically given a “workspace” in which they can share in the experience.

The audio system was provided by TechnoMedia Solutions, and allows for truly localized audio for each user to watch videos or hear music, while not interfering with other users.

We pull the content from the Hard Rock website, and use a central CMS, so that it is always accurate and up to date. We worked with Vertigo to integrate this piece.
