Giant, even wall size, screens could be used where groups of researchers or students and their teachers can all manipulate the image on the system, which is able to recognize the hands of multiple users at the same time. The image size of these samples can be up to 200 gigabytes and the image mosaic can be viewed over the internet using a web browser on your computer, smart phone or in this case – a 46-inch interactive screen. The virtual slide which is created is composed of up to 50000 separate digital images organized into a mosaic of the sample at high magnification. It works with biological samples which are digitized using a microscopy scanner and then stored on an image server. Web based virtual microscopy was developed a few years ago by the Universities Of Helsinki and Tampere. The Multitouch microscope uses a combination of web based microscopy and a 46-inch multitouch display to create what researcher Dr Johan Lundin calls "an iPad on steroids." A useful tool for interactive teaching and learning, the microscope allows users to zoom in or out with a two handed stretch or pinch gesture – all the way down to 1000x magnification. MultiTouch will demonstrate its MultiTouch Cell product at the Infocomm 2010 convention in Las Vegas, from Wednesday, June 9 through June 11 in Booth #N402 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) have collaborated with Finnish company Multitouch Ltd to create a giant touch and gesture controlled microscope.

The MultiTouch Cell is a modular and stackable LCD cell with built-in multiuser and multitouch capabilities with full HD 1920x1080 pixel resolution per display. The company’s patented high-performance system tracks an unlimited number of hands on the screens at 120 frames per second, in bright daylight and dark environments.

The modular MultiTouch displays can be configured as stand-alone 32-inch or 46-inch units, or can be stacked for large-scale commercial/industrial displays. The MultiTouch Cell displays enable multiple users to manipulate images on the displays - whether playing games, resizing maps, pictures, or videos – by tracking the actual fingers and hands, for richer interaction. “Our team at Riolab was afforded the ideal technical partner in MultiTouch, which expertly complemented our vision for a deep archival framework that could be brought to the surface with a sustainable, tactile platform.” ”The value of multitouch displays enhances not only the creative impulses of our producers, but the overall experiential level of users, and our work with MultiTouch has greatly elevated the public display aspect of our mission to deliver a heightened sense of touch realism for the Chilean pavilion at the Shanghai Expo,” said Francisco Arevalo, CEO of Riolab.

MultiTouch presented the first native Windows 7 multitouch applications for its MultiTouch Cell displays at CES 2010, and the new release of its Cornerstone software supports a wide array of programming languages and development environments and protocols, including C++/OpenGL Adobe Flash/Flex/Air. MultiTouch’s patented computer vision system is complemented by software that elegantly translates touch into the programming experience.

“Working with Riolab, we have implemented a global collaborative display that is the first true massive real-time multitouch installation of its kind for the Wall of Chile presentation.” “The vision of a global interactive experience shared by thousands of people, with information dynamically updated, is what the MultiTouch system was developed to nurture,” said Petri Martikainen, CEO of MultiTouch Ltd.
