The table, which stands 31' tall with heavy duty locking casters, is wheel-chair accessible and meets standard ADA requirements for height an important consideration for museums. The table is both a physical and social platform, it does what the traditional computer kiosk cannot do.' 'The intuitive nature of multi-touch interaction, the large surface and low table height: all of these factors contribute to the visitors experience. 'We've been working with museums for a decade and we wanted to create a platform where visitors could interact with museum content, programs and one another in new and meaningful ways,' said Jim Spadaccini, Director of Ideum. Visitors can use hand gestures to manipulate images or media or to interact with computer-based programs. The large display also makes it easier to facilitate multiple simultaneous visitors interacting with computer programs through the use of multi-touch gestures. It has a bright 50' (diagonal) surface with a high-resolution (1280 x 720) display which is higher than Microsoft's Surface multi-touch table.
