1CT Invests in Mindstorm

We are pleased to finally announce our investment in Mindstorm Ltd, a UK based company leading the world of multi-touch surface computing.

This week, Mindstorm is launching a number activities to built on recent product launches and upgrades as well as some serious momentum.

On the 27th of September, more than 12 million people in the UK watched X Factor judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh use the Mindstorm Aurora Table to select the 24 acts that will compete for this years X Factor prize. See how Mindstorm got involved with The X Factor here.

Mindstorm is, however, much more than X Factor. Their multi-touch technology is installed across the globe with prestigious companies such as Google, Audi, Nokia, BMW, Chanel, Mexicana as well as prestigious clubs across the world.

With 20 people, multi-million pound turnover and impressive year-on-year growth, Mindstorm is poised to dominate interactive, multi-touch surface computing. Where others have solutions with very restrictive form-factors, Mindstorm's solutions can be built into furniture such as a bar or a table or be projected onto walls, floors, tables, etc.

Kenneth Siber, one of the two Danish Mindstorm founders (the other is Thomas Jensen), has published a paper on how we're at the dawn of a new paradigm in human-computer iteraction.
