Think the multi-touch display of your iPhone is cool? Then you are going to be amazed by the Ring Wall - The world's largest, multi-touch, multi screen and multi-user wall.

The gigantic 425sq.ft (think 6,000 computer screens) wall, located in the village of Nurburg, Germany at the world-famous Nurburgring Race Track, was built by Sensory Minds, a German company that focuses on developing next-generation, natural user interfaces.

The wall comprises of two pieces - a huge LED display on the top and a multi-touch information wall at the bottom. The crystal clear images can be attributed to 15 high definition projectors, which are supported by 30 directional speakers that deliver the highest-quality sound. The multi-touch display is based on the latest laser technology, which allows for 80 users to simultaneously browse for global news and events. Pretty awesome!

      We thought that the computer wall was very interesting. It looks like it was a lot of hard work, and it must have been very expensive. We wish we could use that on Long Island.
