Developed exclusively for Christie MicroTiles, Christie demonstrated its "Touch Environment" solution at IBC to show how interactive multi-touch can be used to bring a new dimension to sports commentary in a broadcast studio set concept. The Interactivity Kit differs from other gesture and touch based systems currently on the market by offering much faster responses times and up to 16 gestures pointing across the canvas at any one time.
The solution combines MicroTiles reconfigurable seamless display technology using true multi-touch 2D and 3D position-sensing developed exclusively for use with Christie MicroTiles by Baanto International.
The user interface developed by Nytric using Action Script 3 and authored in Adobe AIR runtime, is an icon-based touch and gesture controlled interface allows access to many applications or layers of media.
Able to take advantage of the reconfigurable and scalable nature of MicroTiles, the Touch Environment accommodates many different applications and styles for large screen interactivity in both broadcast and corporate applications.
The system showed how a scrollable video tool illustrates football highlights and plays, on demand, as the match is in play. Player and match stats will be displayed on demand, with on-the-fly annotation at any time.
