Touch + pen = multitouch nirvana!

Posted by: ashleytan on: April 13, 2010

Video source Think multitouch with your fingers on the iPad is impressive? See what can happen when you combine touch and pen input! If you want one, Instructables offers a tutorial on how to build your own multitouch computer (sans pen). Sigh! And to think that we had a multitouch prototype at the MxL that [...]

Ideum multitouch

Posted by: ashleytan on: November 2, 2009

Video source I no longer dabble with multitouch/surface computing, but I continue to admire the efforts of those who do! Ideum’s video showcases a fair bit of exploratory work. But I can see the surface computer used to greater effect for collaborative learning!

Multitouch obstacles and opportunities

Posted by: ashleytan on: October 14, 2009

Video source I no longer have the resources, support or energy to develop our multitouch surface prototype at the MxL. But I am glad that others like 10/Gui are developing solutions for what is the not-too-distant future of human-computer interaction. Don’t believe me?

1:1 and surface computing

Posted by: ashleytan on: October 9, 2009

What would I learn without RSS? Very little! RSS is one of my personal PD (professional development) tools and with it I learn or get something reinforced every day! One blog I follow is Chris Dawson’s. He recently asked how important is 1:1 to literacy? He doesn’t have all the answers (no one does), but [...]

Windows 7 multitouch

Posted by: ashleytan on: July 11, 2009

Ooh, a demo of surface computing using the Touch Pack. Video source The screen had an LED array, much like the prototype that we have at the MxL. Sadly, we do not have the support or momentum to develop it further.

From Gizmodo: Windows 7 Touch Pack Multitouch Apps Let You Fondle the Globe or Play Death Pong. We need to create a Windows 7 partition in the MxL’s surface computing prototype and try these apps out!
