The massive display gives attendees instant access to the complete festival program, 3D maps of the event and surrounding area, and information on local restaurants and bars. The Touchwall also helps delegates schedule meetings with each other and trade contact information via email. The presentation layer is built with the Flex 4 framework and runs on Flash Player 10.
I interviewed John Barton, Senior Solutions Architect at Schematic and asked him about the wall’s features, how it was built and where they are taking this next.
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could get something like this at MAX?
Awesome stuff they have created in such short notice. (as Flex 4, even the alpha, is a very recent technology)
Thanks for the video!
