MultiTouchLtd.hassince2007developedtheworld’smostadvancedmulti-touchdisplays.Theyareusedaroundtheworldinover50countriesforcreatingexcitingapplicationsinretail,corporate,education,museumandothersegments.Especiallyinretail,digitalsignageandeducation,interactivedisplaysaredevelopingintosystemsconsistingofhundredsoreventhousandsofdisplays,con-tentandapplications.Withthisrapidlyincreasingnumberofbusinesscriticaldeployments,thereisagrowingneedforasystemmanagementsolutiontoaddressthesetup,maintenanceandcontentmanagementtaskstobeoperatedremotelyandappliedtothousandsoflocations.

ThiswhitepaperpresentsMultiTouch’ssolutionforremotemanagementofinteractivedisplayinstallations.



MultiTaction CellsMultiTouchintroducedthefirstgenerationMultiTouchCellinteractivedisplaysin2008.ItwasfollowedbyaslimmerandalightersecondgenerationAdvancedproductlinein2010.In2011,MultiTouchintroducedacompletelynewwaytobuildinteractivedisplayswithitsMultiTactiontechnology.

ThefirstproductbasedonMultiTactiontechnology,a55”MultiTactionCellwasintroducedinOctober2011.WithMultiTouchproprietaryComputerVisionThroughScreentechnologyintegratedintothedisplays,itwaspossibletorecognizeuserintentionsmuchmoreaccuratelythanwithothertouchtechnologies.Advancedgesturerecognitionbasedonidentifyingfingertips,fingerorientationandcompletehandsallowedfornaturalandintuitiveuserinterfacestobebuilt.

Moreover,theopticaltrackingwhichworksperpendicularlythroughtheLCDpanelallowedsupportforadvancedinteractionmethods.Thesystemwasabletoseewhatusersweredoingindetail.Theseadvancedinteractionmethodsincluded:

•Objecttracking.Physicalobjectscouldbetaggedwithoptical2Dmarkers.Therecouldbemillionsofdifferentmarkercodesdependingonthemarkersize.UserscouldplaceobjectssuchasIDcards,couponsorproductsamplesonthedisplayandmoveandrotatethem.Applicationdeveloperscouldmakeuseofthiswhendesigningapplications.•Pentracking.Activeinfraredpenswererecognizedbythecomputervisionsystemasseparatefromfingersorobjects.Thisallowedforsimultaneoususeofpenandtouchintheuserinterfaces.•Shape(blob)tracking.Simpleshapessuchascircle,squareortriangleshapescouldbetrackedseparately.

Duetotheseadvancedcapabilitiesthatgobeyondtouch,wecallMultiTactionCellsinteractive displays.

Connecting Displays to the Application ComputerOneofthebasictaskswhensettingupanewinstallationistoconnectthedisplaytotheapplicationcomputer,andsetupthespatiallayoutbetweendisplaysconnectedtothesamecomputer.SiteManagerhelpswiththispairing processwithtoolsto:

•detecttheavailableCells•matchingtheCellstographicscardsontheapplicationcomputer•setupthelayoutoftheCellsforeachcomputer

Thisworkisusuallydoneon-site,usingalaptop.Toperformtheconfiguration,theuserstartsaCornerstone-basedapplicationontheapplicationPCs.UsuallytheSiteManagerlaptopisusedon-sitetoscanforavailableCells,andsetupthetouchconfigurationontheapplicationPCs.TheuseofSiteManagersavestimebygivinggraphicaltoolsthatturnscomplexlayoutconfigurationtasksintosimplegrad-and-dropoperations.

Monitoring User Activity on the InstallationsWhentheinstallationsareoperationalthereisoftenadesiretomonitoruseractivity,toseehowtheapplicationsareused.Themainreasonsforthisare:

•Observewhattheusersactuallydowiththeapplications,comparedtotheirexpected(ordesired)behavior•Verifythattheinstallationsareworkingcorrectly,forexamplethatgraphicsonthescreensareasexpected,andthattheapplicationshaveexpectedperformance(framerate,memoryusageetc.)



TheseoperationsareperformedwithCornerstoneapplicationmonitoring.Themonitoringmodulecanbeusedindifferentways,dependingontheusecase:
