Eyefactive shows a multitouch table concept that blends large-format PCAP interaction with tangible object recognition, so physical items become UI controls on a 4K surface: drop a marker chip on the glass, and the software tracks its ID, position, and rotation to reveal contextual layers, switch views, or scrub through media without extra sensors. https://www.eyefactive.com/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

What’s technically interesting is that the “black chip” is a passive marker, not NFC: there’s no battery, and the touch controller plus recognition layer interprets the marker pattern directly on the capacitive sensor, enabling continuous XY tracking plus orientation, which typical NFC taps don’t provide. That makes it usable for tabletop “tokens” in retail, museums, showrooms, and wayfinding, where multiple objects can act like tangible filters, selectors, or menu keys in a shared scene.
On the software side, Eyefactive positions this as an app platform with a CMS workflow: you can build experiences from text, images, video, PDFs, websites, and even 360° or 3D assets using template-style apps (the demo uses an interactive map concept called Hotspots), so non-developers can assemble navigation and storytelling without writing code. For developers, there’s still an API path to integrate object recognition into custom stacks like Unreal Engine, so the tangible inputs can drive real-time 3D content or bespoke kiosk logic in a controlled runtime.
The hardware shown is a high-brightness tabletop display co-developed with faytech: around a 55-inch UHD panel, built for exhibition lighting and heavy public use, with multi-user ergonomics and a robust glass/stand structure you can lean on without worry. Filmed at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, it’s a neat illustration of how “tangible UI” can move beyond gimmick into an operational interface for self-service kiosks, tourism rooms, and public venues.
The bigger idea is that multitouch becomes the baseline, and multi-user plus tangible tracking becomes the differentiation: people can collaborate from different sides, tokens can represent products, guests, languages, or points of interest, and staff can still use the same surface for guided demos when needed. If you’ve been thinking about replacing static signage with an interaction layer that scales from kiosks to wall displays and tables, this is a practical pattern to watch today.
