- Description
- Capable sources are being sought to provide a Custom Datawall Touch Screen to the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Rome Research Site (RRS). Specifically, one custom built Touch Interaction System consisting of advanced SMART DViT touch interaction for a rear projection display screen. The display screen to be touch enabled will be supplied by RRS and is 112"W X 31"H (including frame) with a 108" x 27" display area. The display system into which the touch system will be integrated utilizes a single Microsoft Windows? PC with 3 graphics outputs driving 3 horizontally tiled video projectors. Each projector will be driven at a resolution of 1400 x 1050 pixels for a total display resolution of 4200 x 1050 pixels across the display area. This system must be compatible with this display configuration. The sensor system technique must be scaleable to the 108" x 27" multi-projector rear projection display area. It must also require no sensor material be placed on the display screen surface to maintain optimal image quality. Its mounting system must also be compatible with the AFRL/IF screen frame to which it will be integrated. Main System elements: Camera sensors IR illumination system Bezeling along sides and bottom of touch surface One or more controllers to determine and report events within the active area of the display Technical phone support for operation of the System Full assembly of the System at SMART's facility Initial full assembly of the System at the US AFRL facility Detailed instructions for assembly Software: SMART will provide a SMART Board? interactive whiteboard service that will handle the SMART Board interactive whiteboard System. The SMART Board interactive whiteboard software will be required to run on a Microsoft Windows based PC. The vendor will provide the following: Logic required to properly handle the transition between the camera pairs on the touch surface. SMART Board interactive whiteboard software that allows for a single contact anywhere on the touch surface. An SDK that will permit the monitoring of all SMART Board interactive whiteboard contact events. Monitoring events will report XY data in display coordinates along with the unique ID identifying the contact. The SDK will also permit the making of SMART Board interactive whiteboard AWARE applications for Win32 Windows applications or Java applications. The SDK will be provided for Windows applications as a COM DLL and for Java applications that enable an application to be sent contact events from the SMART Board interactive whiteboard software. Functionality: Functionality similar to existing SMART Board DViT systems. Contact/detect, XY coordinate location. Finger or stylus (similar in dimensions to a finger) control. Supports single touch across the touch surface.
