Last week we exhibited at the Planet2010 exhibition. We had a great turn out on both days and showed off our Apps, Google Earth On Large Multi-touch and WebTouch. We had 52” and 40” multi-touch displays on our stand as well as the only HP TouchSmart 26” AIO system in New Zealand.
Most visitors were very impressed and many thought Google Earth On Large Multi-touch (GEMT) was an awesome product. To be able to use multitouch gestures to navigate around he world is a great thing to do and visitors just loved the interface which works so much better than a keyboard and mouse.

In the stand next to us we had the Vector team promoting a new fibre to the home product. They liked our GEMT product and asked if we would like to see it operating with really a hi speed gigabyte net connection. We said yes of course and an hour later we were connected. What a difference to our GEMT. The Earth pics were rendered on screen at a blistering rate, it just looked so good.
We had a lot of interest in our plans for a large multitouch multi-user video wall. We are now stepping up the development process.
