With a 86" viewable haptic touch screen with 2304x800 pixel resolution, this superwide multi-touch table was designed for the Space Chase Gallery at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville for visitor use; the setup is powered by dual Intel I7s with 6GB of triple channel DDR RAM, allowing several people to manipulate virtual objects all at the same time. Although meant for museum use, the MT-50 hints strongly at the move toward touch screen integration into table design, undoubtedly will make its way into home furnishing and entertainment setups...
"Taking advantage of the super-wide screen format, we've created a digital representation of the EM Spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays.” said Jim Spadaccini, Creative Director of Ideum. “Visitors can move images across the table in real-time, revealing the images in each waveform and accessing information about what they are seeing.”

Cool! Looks like it's got blue LED lights giving it some underglow, too, another futuristic element.
Have you guys ever seen the tables at the Revolution Lounge in Las Vegas? (where I live)

they're really cool, and have been there for a while. But this concept of the work table is a whole other level!
Does anyone know what this thing is running? Looks very similar to Microsoft Surface - I'm wondering if this is Surface with a science type app on it.

@ oneisco: It's actually built by Ideum, another company that builds multitouch tables. It's higher resolution than the Surface. The table is running their GestureWorks, a multitouch framework that works with Adobe Flash, and a custom science app they built in Flash. Hope that helps!
