MT-50 Multitouch Table DIY Building Instructions–Version 1.2 - 4/5/11 - Page 3
ABOUT THE MT-50 & DIY BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS
The MT50 is a projection based 50” multitouch table. It is 31” high with casters and
meets ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act) standards. The MT50 supports a
resolution of 1280x720. Its frame is made of aluminum, the shell is steel, and surface is
thick tempered glass. The table is virtually indestructible and is designed for use in busy
public spaces. We’ve literally dropped bowling balls on it to test its toughness.
Ideum (
www.ideum.com ), a New Mexico-based company, built and sold MT50
multitouch tables between 2009 and 2010. There are dozens of these tables installed in
museums, research labs, and a few are even installed at Fortune 500 companies across
North America. The MT50 has been discontinued, as of March 2011 and has been
replaced by a LCD based table, the MT55 (you can learn more about the MT55 on the
Ideum website: http://www.ideum.com/products/multitouch/ ). It is worth mentioning
that of the techniques used in the MT50 are still used for large-scale installations such as
walls, multiple projector tables. While the MT50 documentation is no longer available
on the Ideum site. A description, videos, and reviews can be found on the
GestureWorks website:

The instructions for the MT-50 are being released as part of the Open Exhibits, museum
software and hardware initiative. Open Exhibits multitouch and multiuser software is
free to students, museums, nonprofits, and US Government agencies. Please visit:
openexhibits.org for more details.
If you have any suggestions for how we might improve these instructions, please let us
know.
