Ideum's original MT2 multitouch table was certainly impressive enough for early 2009, but the company already followed it up with an updated MT-50 model in August of last year, and it's just now taken the wraps off some further, fairly significant improvements to that model. It's still a DLP projector-based system with a 50-inch screen, but the PC at the heart of the table has been upgraded to a quad-core rig with GeForce GTX 285 graphics and, just as importantly, the number of points-of-touch has been increased to sixty, making it an even more attractive option for places like museums. As before, the table also boasts a nigh indestructible tempered glass surface, which has definitely been put to the test. See for yourself in the video after the break.
A women dropped the bowling ball. Test is void.
@MaxL
but does it still work AFTER the tests????
we didint get to see
wow this thing has a huge bez..... never mind
My goodness I love video demonstrations. Thanks!
Yes, but will it... ::OUCH!!:: Dude, what is wrong with you?!
Ideum must have not gotten the memo. MS is moving to portable surface.
They needed to put a part at the end of the video to shows that the table still functions properly.
@New Reformation lol tru
@New Reformation
Wow, I just came back to this post after writing a paper for a class tomorrow and am appalled by its lack of grammar. D:
...Looks just like a Big iPhone.

@SPENone I bet this multitasks.
@p0p0
ZING!
I bet ya anything it's Gorilla Glass. That stuff is on my COWON s9, and shit, it is nigh indestructible itself. I've taken a kitchen knife to it just to prove a point and not so much as a scratch!
@Prevacator
well whatever that glass is made of I want it on my next smartphone! :)
@Lord Vader
ohhhhh transparisteel isnt good enough for the dark lord of the sith now. I see how it is.
@BubblegumBalloon
All electronics should be made out of this stuff
Of course it'll still cost too much to be really applicable.....
Me want to play bowling on this table.
And smashing popping heads with my 2-Handed Blessed Mace.
Man they better hope Apple does not so oh wait they are overseas what was Apple again
@TheOne I meant to say sue
I wish there was a edit function, but it was rejected by the Apps store
Micrsoft lawsuit enroute?
giggle...
Sorry, its just not as funny as when Microsoft does it.
Pretty sure apple lawyers drafting a patent infringement case because we all know apple " Invented multi-Touch". (sarcasm)
I smell a lawsuit!! They're stealing our ideas!!! Must destroy competition!!! We're the best!!!
Oh, gosh. That's extremely hard to watch. I flinched every time. But it's good to know it's so sturdy, heh.
