The huge video wall featuring touch functionality is based on a concept by multi-touch specialist MMT, which is located in Raguhn in Saxony-Anhalt. The end product is a mobile and modular touch video wall that can be easily installed and dismantled and which can be smoothly integrated into diverse trade show and event environments as a freestanding solution. This mobile and temporarily usage of the wall naturally makes high demands on the applied components, which are easily met by the stable construction by MMT, its touch system and the robustly engineered eyevis displays. The wall used by Hilfiger consists of a screen with twelve EYE-LCD-5500-XSN-LD-FX-700 seamless LCD displays by evevis, each with a diagonal measurement of 55 inches. Through the 4 x 3 arrangement the displayed diagonal measures about 207 inches (ca. 527 cm) and it is only interrupted by 3.5 mm narrow bezels that are connecting all single displays. With a total resolution of 7680 x 3240 pixels the fashion label gets access to a huge screen that enables to show images and videos in high-definition. The display’s high brightness of 700 cd/m2 makes sure that the content also takes effect in light-filled environments. MMT’s integrated touch system recognises up to 40 simultaneous touch actions. By this, many consumers can interact with the content – i.e. tap on points of information, pick styles and eventually get pointed to the web shop via a QR code – at the same time and at different places.
“Being mounted in this spectacular show appearance our high-class displays could proof what they are made of. Colour adjustment among the single modules worked very smoothly so that the wall was perceived as a homogenous surface. The high brightness provided a cool elegance and easy atmosphere on the stand”, Michael Reichart, who managed this project at eyevis, commented on the technical advantages of the selected modules. “And of course, the modules were resiliently surviving three days of heavy usage without any damage!”
