EM Spectrum 100" Multitouch Table Exhibit

The exhibit is comprised of a multitouch table with a 100" surface (86" viewable area) with a 16:5 ratio aspect. The exhibit software presents a digital representation of the EM spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays. The images change in real-time as they are moved, allowing visitors to see how the object can be perceived differently in each wavelength of the EM spectrum.

Visitors (up to eight simultaneously) can move images across the spectrum see how they change. If images are not interacted with they will slowly disappear from the table and new image will appear on the table in random wavelength and with a random orientation. Visitors can also select to close an image, bringing up a new one. The exhibit never looks the same as images appear and disappear dynamically.

The software was developed using the GestureWorks (www.gestureworks.com) multitouch framework for Flash. The exhibit was developed by Ideum (www.ideum.com).
