New Facebook Page Upgrade [Tour]

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 06:36 AM PST

Today we received a Facebook alert to upgrade our QOT Facebook Page and I share with you the Facebook tour of what has changed on the page.

That was interesting and we went ahead with a Preview of the new Facebook page. Looks good.

So the latest photos have now come up on top. Did you know our Facebook fans can upload photos and videos to our facebook page and get more exposure.

All the navigation has moved from tabs to the left sidebar. I found the earlier tabs more visible to users.

This is a good idea to showcase your featured content.

Now we can use Facebook as a Page rather than as a person. This is incredible and possible the most important feature change.

Lots of new settings options. Better defined and layout is cool.

All Facebook pages will switch to the new format starting March 2011. This move is not reversible. Join the QOT facebook community and get interesting updates, tips and tricks.  Click LIKE on top of the Facebook page to join. Post a comment on how you like the new layout.

World’s Largest Curved Multitouch Screen [Video]

University of Groningen in the Netherlands have created the world’s largest curved multitouch screen called the Reality Touch Theatre.

See the giant touch screen in action in this video

We used six Optitrack v120 slim camera’s which have a good sensitivity for infrared light. We used 16 cheap infrared emitters (the kind used for security systems) with a total of 1000 LED’s. The touch detection software runs on three old computers each with two camera’s connected. One extra computer combines the output from the detection computers and send event data to our main visualization system. This way we have (even using the old computers) enough processing power to be able to run the detection software at 60Hz and with a latency between 30 ms and 50 ms. It can detect without any problem 100 different touches at any time (more is possible, but it becomes slower)

See this short clip cut from a 24 minute lecture about Geographic Information Systems which uses the touch theatre.

And you were impressed with Microsoft Surface Touch Tables.
