University students create world’s largest 3D touchscreen

A group of Netherlands' Groningen University students have converted a 3D theater into the world’s largest touchscreen named the Reality Touchscreen. The touchscreen will display 100 inputs at a time. The touchscreen itself supports six optitrack cameras and 16 infrared lights. These cameras and infrared lights work behind the functioning of the Reality Touchscreen. The Dutch students, who worked behind the world’s largest touchscreen, have been getting enormous appreciation for their work.

The Reality Touchscreen measures 10 meters and has a resolution of 4900 x 1700 pixels. The touchscreen can be used for large-scale gaming purposes and corporate presentations. It seems that the Groningen University students kicked off their experiment so as to develop the world’s largest touchscreen with an aim to help interactive teaching in classrooms. Curved at 135 degrees, the massive touchscreen will be a huge help for teachers for interactive learning of every topic.

Hence, it will look like that you are sitting in the midst of the contents shown on the large touchscreen. It is expected that the massive touchscreen will get a lot of consumers. Corporate firms and video gaming companies will indeed wish to try a hand on the world’s largest touchscreen.
