MultiTouch's Interactive Displays React to Real-Life Objects With Enriched Reality(TM)
NEW YORK, NY, Jan 03, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
MultiTouch Ltd., the world leader in interactive display systems,
today announced its latest technology, Enriched Reality(TM). With the
new technology, MultiTouch's MultiTaction(R) series of displays are
able to detect every object that interacts or is placed on the
system.
Enriched Reality is based on MultiTouch's proprietary Computer Vision
Through Screen (CVTS) technology and uses 2D optical markers for
real-life object detection to uniquely identify any object attached
to a marker. In addition to this, Enriched Reality supports blob
tracking which recognizes all basic geometric shapes including
circles, triangles and rectangles.
MultiTouch also announced that a number of clients are using its
Enriched Reality technology. These clients include:
-- San Francisco-based Snibbe Interactive with installations at EMP
Museum in Seattle, Mob Museum in Las Vegas and Orthofix, a medical
company from Lewisville, TX, http://youtu.be/Cjt0_FbVVzw
-- Germany-based Atracsys with its Chocolate station,

-- Spain-based Sensaa with its Sekuensaa music application,

-- Denmark-based CAVI with its Lego Flow application,

"Enriched Reality underlines the uniqueness of MultiTouch's CVTS
technology," says Petri Martikainen, CEO of MultiTouch. "The CVTS
technology can detect everything from single touch points to
unlimited number of users to simultaneous use of hands, IR pens and
real-life objects. The support for Enriched Reality will accelerate
the development of applications that combine real-life objects with
digital content in classrooms, museums and retail."
MultiTouch will showcase Enriched Reality at CES 2013, taking place
in Las Vegas, in central hall, booth #14246. Live demonstration
includes CAVI Radartable (http://youtu.be/tivjAaLaO-w) where users
can compose music with real-life pieces that represent different
instruments, musical effects and samples.
Enriched Reality is included with MultiTaction series of displays as
a standard feature. The developers can use MultiTouch's proprietary
Cornerstone SDK, XML or TUIO interface to access the marker and blob
information on the screens.
