Multitouch Collection Viewer with Multiscreen Feature Available in March
Open Exhibits is set to release a new set of GestureWorks compatible modules in March. One of these new software modules is the Collection Viewer 2.0. This multitouch template has multiscreen support and it comes with editing GUI for adding content. It will be fully compatible with GestureWorks 3.0 and the source will be freely available for commercial use. Here’s the description of the software from the Open Exhibits website.
As part of the new Open Exhibits release next month, we are releasing a new and improved version of the Collection Viewer. The 2.0 version has the ability to display images or related video on second display, improved metadata support, better performance, and graphical user interface (GUI) for adding content.
Check out this video which shows the multiscreen Collection Viewer 2.0 and GUI in action.
We still have a long list of additions to add to the Collection Viewer during the course of 2012. If you want see some of the features we are looking to add, see the blog post: Building a Better Collection Viewer (Part 2).

Choosing the right multitouch equipment is a critical factor in planning a successful public exhibit. Size, build quality and performance are key factors when evaluating a device that will be used day after day in a busy public environment.
Our Multitouch Table and Display Comparison chart (PDF 600kb) compiles key facts about our MT Series multitouch devices, along with available information on many of our competitors’ multi-touch tables and displays. We hope you will find this a valuable resource when selecting equipment for your next museum exhibit or public display.
We pride ourselves on building the best integrated multitouch tables and touch walls for public use. Whether you are comparing the MT55 Platform table, MT55 Pro table, or our new MT65 Presenter multitouch wall, you will see that our product performance is second to none in build quality and value.
