MultiTouch

Done in 6 months (work study internship) independently
JPB Audiovisuel
Learn how to manipulate a MultiTaction screen and develop apps for it.

Project done in C++

The first step was to get used to develop with the development kit of that new technology in order to know how the company can use it. So I try to see how can it communicates with other devices and how to use integrated features of the screen.

So first I spent a week to learn and develop some prototypes and then I focused on BrightSign boxes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These boxes are used to send signals to other devices like lightings, screens, holograms, etc... the main idea was to make the MultiTaction communicates with several devices by interacting with that multitouch table.

And to proceed, the company wanted to use codice recognition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Codices are recognized by the table. With an app I developed, I managed to create a system that allow someone to assign a signal to a codice. This message can be sent to one or several BrightSign boxes via UDP (The only protocol BrightSign can detect)

The design of the app is taken from the embed demonstration app (MultiTaction Experience). So I just customized it to put the content the company wanted to exhibit.

The main purpose of the table now is to be the core of JPB Showroom. Users can see the company activities on the screen by interacting with photos and videos. And my app allow users to put codices on it to interact with lighting, holograms and other devices in the showroom.
 

The hardest thing was the low visibility of that technology which means the support cannot answer to anything and the developer community was small. I was the only developer in JPB and probably the only french developer in this technology so it was impossible for me to ask for help in the company. That is why most of my work was to make lots of research.

You can watch the following video (In French) if you wish. It shows quickly each step of my development. I left the company with a fully editable app allowing them to add content, interact with any devices connected to a BrightSign.
