| Multitouch display for public playing at the Pori Jazz festival |
|
This summer Pori Jazz uses the latest technology to present its programme, artists and venues to the audience. The Jatsitatsi multitouch wall, created as a part of a research project, uses advanced technology in a novel way to provide the audience with new experiences in public spaces.
Digital balls are flying on almost three meters wide multitouch screen at the festival’s information point on the Jazz Street. Users can stop the balls by touching them. When a user enlarges a caught ball on the screen, he can, for instance, see more information about the programme. The research project to carried out by Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT, Aalto University, Tampere University of Technology, Elisa and Nokia Siemens Networks. The multitouch display technology has been developed by MultiTouch Ltd. The research project S3 – Screen, Space and Social Activity has been funded by Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation. Watch a video on Jatsitatsi multitouch screen here.
