Wacom previews Unlimited Multi-touch Screen

Wacom is offering an interactive demo of its unlimited multi-touch screen prototype.

The system uses a 21-inch LCD monitor and version 1.8 of Nuiteq’s Snowflake Suite software running on Windows 7.

The company confirmed that it is in talks about visual effects and animation, as well as casinos, as potential applications. It also could find applications for meeting and collaborative tasks. “In the future, this could also be larger and something everyone could collaborate with,” said company spokesperson Doug Little.

The technology is at least a year away from shipping, he said.
