What are the best Windows 7 Multitouch Displays?

March 14, 2010 – 12:58 pm

Recently, I’ve been working on some Windows Multitouch applications.  These apps have been built using WPF and .Net 3.5 using Microsoft’s Touch Interop Library.  Since .Net 4.0 isn’t officially released yet, I haven’t been using it for any production apps, even though it would be the preferred choice for Windows Multitouch.

One of the bigger challenges with trying to design and create applications that take advantage of Windows 7’s native multitouch support is the hardware.  There is currently a fairly limited choice of external displays that you can add to your setup to begin working with.  All of the displays work the same in that they connect to your computer via a standard display port (VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc) and then also connect via USB to supply the touch device.

Touch Screen using Lycra

July 27, 2009 – 2:22 pm

I really like the idea of using depth and pressure to adjust the interface.

I seem to recall seeing something at an art exhibit many years ago that was like this. the harder you pushed the more back in time the image would go.

Rules for demonstrating a new technology

July 23, 2009 – 8:38 pm

1. Make a Twitter application for you new technology
2. Make a Twitter / Google maps mash up to tun on the technology
3. Use the Flickr API
4. Combine Twitter, Flickr and Google maps
5. Make a game that has users upload photos to Flickr and then tweet about it for points.
6. It doesn’t matter just make it multitouch in fact if you can take input for all 10 fingers people don’t care.
7. Take all of the above and add pictures of cats with funny captions. Mmmmm… multitouch LOL cats.

Okay, don’t take number 7. I’m going to get stinky rich with my multitouch cats that crowd sources whimsical comments made via twitter. OMG, this is so going to rule the interwebs! I can see it now. You’ll control one cat on each finger, like finger puppets and then little speech bubbles will pop up on a cat and they will say things like, “IM on ur fingers Makn LOLZ”

I even made a wireframe of it.

Schematic Touchwall

It seems a little large if you ask me, otherwise I love the concept. Schematic has been making some amazing progress in the multitouch arena. They are still eons behind the work that Stimulant is doing. They really should just merge in to one company Schemulant

Windows 7 multitouch

May 28, 2008 – 7:32 am

Looks like some “Windows 7″ multitouch is starting to, er, surface.


Video: Multi-Touch in Windows 7

personally, this doesn’t seem that special. WPF has had the ability to author multitouch for a little while now. There just hasn’t been any hardware except the Wii hacks and the Surface.

Oh and a side note. This is the first time I’ve seen someone use MSN’s Soapbox.

Multitouch me

March 12, 2008 – 2:18 pm

Multitouch interfaces seem to be all the rage right now. I just got back from Mix and SXSW and saw several examples of multitouch devices from the Surface to some very budget versions using Wiimotes and IR LED gloves.

But I think this super giant interface that was shown at CeBIT might have them beat. It looks like it works much in the same way as the Surface only on a super jumbo scale. Check out the video:

More fun with the Wiimote

December 10, 2007 – 4:31 pm

This guy is doing some very amazing stuff. I can’t wait to play around with his code.

I need to fix my old projector to see about getting this to work.

I wonder if you could tear out the Wiimote sensor place it just above a laptop screen sort of like in his demo but have it mounted to the laptop. You might need two sensors to cover the entire screen, but that would make for a very easy home built multi-touch screen solution.
