Playsurface: Low-Cost Multi-Touch Table
Templeman Automation (TA) is excited to announce its Playsurface multi-touch table Kickstarter. Playsurface is an inexpensive projection touch table for multiple users. TA is excited about the possibilities associated with using touch tables along with software products like Open Exhibits and Ideum’s GestureWorks to get more touch tables into educational and home environments.
The Kickstarter project is intended to raise capital for electronics development and an initial production run.
The Playsurface is based on technologies previously developed by TA for business, educational, and logistics collaboration.

Also, you are on your way with $5,700 in pledges and counting. All great news!
Thanks! It is interesting to see the market for this product take shape – most people are not afraid of adding their own projector and doing some of the set up themselves, so it looks like a hacker response rather than finished tables. Interesting. Still trying to figure out what the backers really intend to use them for. Certainly OE is a good choice for installation-type applications.
Congrats on the PC World Mention!
