MT-50 Multitouch Table
Open-knowledge reference entry
The MT-50 is an interactive multi-touch table developed by Ideum. The table, now retired, had a 50" display with a 1280 x 720 resolution that used IR flood technology to register multi-user, multitouch gestures, and used the NUI Snowflake software package to handle optical processing. It supported over 50 discrete touch points. The casing was built with aircraft-grade aluminum and tempered glass to allow it to stand heavy use in public environments.
The MT-50 was replaced by the Ideum's next generation of multitouch tables, the 55" Platform and Pro tables.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6718306. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1280.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
