HP has this week unveiled their new VantagePoint display which
measures a massive 132 inches across its diagonal, and is capable of
supporting up to 32 touch points simultaneously. The new ultrahigh
resolution interactive wall has been designed by HP to provide an
immersive interactive experience, allowing users to use videos together
with local and online applications in addition to live web feeds. The
VantagePoint system has been created by combining 6 x HP LD4730G 47
inch Ultra-Micro Bezel displays and measures 11 feet wide by 7 feet
high. The VantagePoint is connected to a high performance HP Z800
Workstation enabling it to handle even the heaviest audio and video
loads and full on-screen interaction.
Together
with a smaller HP Pavilion Slimline controls display colour and
contrast, the whole system runs Windows 7, together with applications
written in JavaScript, C++, C# and Microsoft Presentation Framework.
HP
hopes their new VantagePoint display will allow businesses to engage
customers via specialised applications and improve back office
operations using touch interaction. HP is currently marketing their new
multitouch VantagePoint system commercially at the moment for around
hundred and $125,000. Unfortunately there is currently no indication
when the technology will be made available. However you can sign up for
more information on the HP website. Source: Ubergizmo |
