Let's hope it's better than the big touch screen the BBC were using during the election. Anyone know what that was running?

Edit: May have been http://www.u-touch.co.uk/84-4k-multitouch-screen-ir/ or http://www.idonix.com/projects/vizTouchScreen2011.



I assumed that was cgi - like a weather forecaster waving at a bluescreen. Did she have any way of choosing the seat? I think it may have been 100% controlled offscreen.

Totally farcical UX - the screen had 3 functions yet she had to walk back and forth to slap a tile to switch them. Its a bad sign to measure Fitt's distance in meters! A remote would have been more sensible but it was for the pretense of being tech, not actual practicality.
