SmartSurface’s SmartFrames at MIMOS
SmartSurface has been cooperating with MIMOS, the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems, by supplying our multitouch SmartFrame and providing training on multitouch programming.
Among the many applications Mimos is cooperating with SmartSurface on and using SmartSurface technology to develop is a SECURITY APPLICATION, showed in the pictures here. This Security Application allows hands-on direct mulititouch control over 60 security cameras at their facilities.
SmartWall was chosen to interactively showcase Malaysian Prime Minister program “1-Malaysia” at the launching event of the “Government Transformation Program” (GTP). The launching was held last week on the 28th & 29th of January 2010 at the “KLCC Convention Center” and was attended by representatives of most ministries in Malaysia.
SmartSurface’s early models are based on both in-house research as well as open source community contribrutions. SmartSurface would like to acknowledge the surface computing and multitouch community for trying to advance this technology. We would like to further contribute by releasing SmartSurface”s tracking source code under the GPL license.
You can download it from our SmartSurface Community Forum (please register to be able to download the materials we offer there).
Two of the co-founders are veteran, active members of the NUI Group. NUI, (Natural User Interface) is a global open source community that brings together experts in surface computer related multitouch programming. Many founders of startup surface computing companies have come from NUI Group. We at SmartSurface have learned much from these members and are always willing to share and exchange knowledge.
SmartSurface is committed to its active involvement in spreading multitouch and surface computing technology by providing source codes and training. The more surface computing is integrated into everyday life and the more people know about multitouch programming, the better this will reflect on SmartSurface as well as all of those involved in surface computers and multitouch.

SmartSurface SmartWall in the Black Eyed Peas Concert in Malaysia
Looking back at Smart Surface achievements in 2009, one of our most exciting jobs was providing multitouch solutions for the VIP room of The Black Eyed Peas (BEP) band during their concert in Malaysia in September 2009.
The Black Eyed Peas is an internationally known American band that won the best Music Award 6 times during 2009. BEP made history with the longest successive stay at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and it is considered the most popular band in the world today!
The organizers were meticulous in choosing the best for them, so naturally they chose SmartSurface SmartWall for the BEP VIP room.
See the following video on the occasion (or click on the image above to see it on YouTube).
