World record sized Anoto pattern

Largest_Anoto_PatternWe proudly present the world’s largest Anoto pattern! 28 Anoto pages (each A0 size) are stitched to create a single large Anoto pattern that covers a table surface of 5.3 x 3.5m. The pattern is overlaid on top of a large scale city map. Produced for the Ars Electronica GeoCity exhibition, multiple users are able to interact with this map to learn about the city of Linz.
