At the centre of Helsinki(Finland) a large multi touch display is installed to guide the visitors and tourists on october 08 .City wall is a multi touch display that supports large number of people interacting by touch and display simultaneously
"The display is well suited for interactive communication in public spaces. Anyone can send photos, comments and watch videos on the display and interact with each other, as well as with other content on the display by using SMS and Flickr”, tells Ann Morrison, Researcher and Project Leader, HIIT.
CityWall presents images, videos, descriptions and discussions on how nature in Helsinki benefits and disturbs dwellers. A single tree, for instance, can be both a useful physical shelter, an appreciated element in the urban landscape, a source for an irritating pollinosis and a danger for traffic. Many of the changes in the benefits and nuisances of nature are, at least partly, dependent on human activities. The settling of rabbits as permanent residents to Helsinki, for instance, follows partly from global warming that allows released pet rabbits to survive winters in urban green areas.
city wall is made using modules of lcd's of size 46 or 32" inch variants.They can be used as builiding blocks for the larger lcd's just like constructing a wall with bricks.Connect each module's HDMI, FireWire and USB cables into a Mac, Linux or Windows computer, turn on the power and go. Handy status lights even indicate when a cable is connected properly. No setup, no moving parts, no maintenance. Just ready to roll displays that can be powered from even a laptop.
You can even send comments to display on city wall by sending sms to +358505112572.City wall continously downlads images and videos from flickr that are tagged with helsinki.
