Angry Bird will get a whole new meaning in this world’s largest touchscreen

University of Groningen in the Netherlands has made headlines today for being the coolest school to go to for nerdy teens and those that fancy some cool techs in big size. That’s because they’re equipped with the world’s largest touchscreen that measures at 32.8 feet long by 9.2 feet high. It’s at a university, so it’s used for some state-of-the-art criminal investigation purposes or monitoring the school’s security or anything fancy like that, but simply used to teach math and computer science at the university. Yes, boy and a girls. Studying math has gone up a level in coolness.
The touchscreen, a wall that curves at 135-degrees that uses 6 Optitrack cameras, 100 infrared LEDs, has a 4900 x 1700 resolution, has 120 Hz stereo and 50ms of latency, is capable of reading not 4, not 8, not even 50, but up to 100 touch points simultaneously. But of course it must be able to support so many touch points; what’s the use of 32.8 feet worth of space when it cannot allow that many users to interact with the device at any one time? Multiplayer Angry Bird? Hell no! Let’s bring back Worms Armageddon man!
