Ideum of Corrales, New Mexico, USA, has used LG’s 34″ 3440 x 1440 monitor to create a ‘reading rail’ display in an all aluminium case and with 40 point touch for museums and other exhibition areas. The company is using the monitors in a project with the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. The company pointed out that the unit, which replaces a previous version based on an LG 38″ ‘stretch’ display, has higher resolution which can be a real advantage in this kind of application.
The company has also announced the Tangible Engine 1.5 a visualizer, configurator, and software development kit that is intended to allow developers to connect applications to real-world objects on Ideum multitouch tables. The updated Tangible Engine 1.5 release now includes multi-screen support and improved tracking fidelity. To learn more visit http://tangibleengine.com.
