We have the biggest iPad in the world!

Fabio Cionini — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:19:18 +0000

Here it is! A very special iPad prototype Apple sent us for testing :D

ok it’s not an iPad :(

Just a funny mockup made with:

- iPad Simulator from XCode

- IRTouch Bi-Touch frame with custom made TUIO bridge over its native DLL (using Python and Ctypes), running on Windows 7

- Windows 7 running through Parallels 5 Coherence mode

- TUIOMouse application to convert tuio data to mouse events – frameless 40″ LCD monitor

Orbita: 3.000 leapfrogs

Orbita is an iPhone-powered space-lapse installation. More than 3.000 people experienced the system during the Festival della Scienza in Genova. Here’s a short selection of those smiling, happy jumpers.

Tech notes in brief: we developed a custom app/system to shoot in synch wih 20 iPhones.

This is what we call a challenging project :)

Second iteration of the iPhone holders

First prototype of the iPhone holders (+ a ghostly Fabio)

CNCed aluminium body was too difficult to produce on time and on budget.

Video documentation of the ‘multitouch’ table. I guess it’s time to find a good name for it :-)
With the satin glass surface the touch feeling is way smoother (and much easier to shoot without unwanted reflections :-)
This is just a demo, in the meanwhile we are developing an advanced media browser for the presentation of the new SKY-HD channels.

Setting up the camera to properly document the Multitouch framework + table.

Multi-touch solution 95% ready.

Ok, it’s time to release some material. In the past months we have been working on the development of a multitouch solution. We’ve been busy coding from scratch an AS3 framework, benchmarking technologies, iterating many design. We’ll be ready with a commercial product at the end of july.
In the meantime enjoy these video snippet of the first tests.
