The demo kind of strike aside when they start prod around Windows , but Displax ’s raw 40 - inch diameterMultitouch Globelooks like an out-and-out pleasure when it comes to navigating interactive maps . It ’s just too risky it ’s a morsel impractical .
Like any video display that ’s not a flat Earth’s surface , Displax ’s globe uses a projector with a fisheye lens so the images do n’t look warped on its curved surface . So if you were hoping for a dash - mounted GPS whole in the pattern of a 3D globe , I ’m afraid the technology used here just would n’t make that hap .
The world does show off Displax ’s capacitive multitouch technology which is now a flexible polymer film that can be applied to curving surfaces , countenance users interact with them just like they would with their smartphone . Up to six item of hint can be recognise at one time , alleviate pinch zooms and other gestures . The system is first being unveiled at an coming tradeshow in Amsterdam , but by the destruction of the year I ’m sure we ’ll see these popping up in museums , on stage set of your local evening news , and in tiptop - villain lairs .
