MultiTouch Adds New Interactive Displays Integrated With Windows 8

multitouch-1112MultiTouch just added a 42” and 55” to its MultiTaction line of displays integrated with Windows 8. The new 42” (MT420W8) and 55” (MT550W8) offer interactive displays supporting simultaneous use of unlimited touch, Windows 8 native pen tracking and real-life object interaction.

With the Windows 8 compatibility, MultiTaction displays are basically giant Windows 8-like computers that run applications from the Windows 8 store, the same applications that run on smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs. In addition, developers can also use their preferred development platforms using industry standard interfaces such as TUIO and XML streams. MultiTouch’s proprietary Cornerstone SDK is also fully supported.

Both are CFL-based 1080p native LCDs and are 20 centimeters (8 inches) deep, have VESA mounting patterns and use a frameless thin bezel design with smooth edge-to-edge front safety glass.

These displays are not on MultiTouch’s website yet, but when they are, they’ll be here.
