I no longer dabble with multitouch/surface computing, but I continue to admire the efforts of those who do!

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? Check out what companies like HP and Sony are up to in this TechCrunch [...]
1:1 and surface computing

It was only a matter of time for someone to come up with a proper multitouch game.
Windows 7 multitouch

Ooh, a demo of surface computing using the Touch Pack.

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!

Surface computing aka multitouch has already started to establish itself. This time it is with an educational game. Make that “educational” game.

I am all for integrating technology meaningfully, so I have to ask: Wouldn’t the kids be able to do the same thing with pieces of paper or blocks?
