Evonik Röhm 7D006 RP is great for Multi Touch!

I ordered a 7D006 back projection acrylic from Evonik Röhm (the same acrylic that’s used in Microsoft Surface)  a few weeks ago and the acrylic is now assembled into the table. The difference between tracing paper and the new projection acrylic is massive! The image quality is much better and the colors are much more saturated. The IR-transmissions is much better as well, it’s quite easy to get stable blobs with this setup.

I haven’t had the time to paint the table yet and I still have to design a connection terminal for USB, Ethernet, VGA, etc. But this is something I’m planning to do in the upcoming weeks because I have requests that the table should be demonstrated during an event the 20:th of October.

In parallel to this we’re currently writing on an application for the EU FP7-program where I hopefully can get part of the funding for my PHD-studies (the table and graphical user interface development will be part of that.)
