The Finnish firm MultiTouch has announced the introduction of what it is calling the world’s largest integrated multi-user LCD multitouch display, the MultiTaction Cell 55.

The product, a 55-inch display, is the first to emerge from the company’s new software and hardware platform for large-scale multitouch LCD displays, MultiTaction. It can track unlimited touch points, including hands, fingers, fingertips, 2D markers and real-life objects.

It’s also modular, stackable to any size and shape, can be set up as a wall or as a table and has a frameless, thin-bezel design with smooth edge-to-edge front safety glass. It’s native 1080p, is spec’d with a 4000:1 contract ratio and 250 cd/m2 brightness and is LED backlit.

The display is also only 20 cm (8 inches) deep.
