Ideum, a developer of computer-based exhibits and installations for North American museums, is rolling out an interactive table designed to grab the attentions of museum goers. This new MT Table is currently set to be installed at two museums in Amarillo, Texas and Birmingham, Alabama.

The MT Table, said Ideum, is designed to support multi-touch and multi-user interactions. It sports a 50-inch display surface which is touch sensitive and can support multiple users at the same time using hand gestures to manipulate images or media or to interact with computer-based programs.

The table itself is built of aircraft-grade aluminum. The interface and multi-touch software built into the table was designed by a Swedish technology company. Features built into the software include a media viewer, drawing application, 3D model viewer, Google Earth and others.
