Ideum, an interactive design firm, has selected Zytonic's patented multitouch projected capacitive technology for its next-generation Pano Duo 49-inch interactive touch table, according to a press release.

One of the first deployments is at the Röntgen Museum in Remscheid, Germany, where visitors can view and interact with both terrestrial and celestial objects and learn about the different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The main difference between the first generation Pano Duo 49-inch table and the new one is the transition from an infrared touch frame to Zytronic's all-glass printed ZyBrid multitouch sensor. The interactive table has no bezel around the edges, making for an easy-to-clean and modern appearance. The projected capacitive technology also helps simplify Ideum's design process by enabling the use of its patented extrusion style construction.

The table is over two meters long and enables multiple users to interact with the content. It connects two 49-inch commercial-grade LG UHD displays mounted end-to-end, and overlain by a single, stretched Zytronic ZyBrid sensor fitted with its proprietary ZXY500 multitouch controller, and linked to a high-performance PC housed in the table's base. The active touch area of the table is almost 90 inches, while the ZXY500 controller can register up to 100 independent touchpoints with millisecond quick touch response.

The projected capacitive sensor and controller also support Ideum's proprietary tangible engine object recognition software. Using this technology, the Pano Dual 49-inch table enables visitors to place a specially designed physical object that represents a chosen product on the touch table's surface. Once placed, the user can then move the object and open interactive menus showing additional information about the product or exhibit.

Ideum also provided its electromagnetic Spectrum software application, developed specifically for the Pano tables in its touchscreen installations in museums, planetariums and other educational institutions.

At the Röntgen Museum, visitors can learn more about gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation and radio waves, and how each wavelength is imaged.
