Today I presented our work at the CReATE conference in Torino.

from the feedback I got during the aperitivo, it seems that people actually enjoyed the presentation.
I’m sure they were already drunk :)

Video documentation of our Multi-Touch tables and media browsing applications for Sky TV.
Tables were on for 1 week, 14 hours/day and people (especially kids) loved ‘em.

James Murdoch using our multitouch table

Before James Murdoch’s visit at the SKY booth everybody was really scared. But then everything went fine: he’s a very easy going person and was positively impressed by the table.
He actually said: “WOW” :-)
The picture was taken with my iPhone, the studio’s NikonD80 was stolen in Rimini. :-(
