multi touch interaction research
“Since refining the FTIR (frustrated total internal reflection) sensing technique, we’ve been experimenting with a wide variety of application scenarios and interaction modalities that utilize multi-touch input information. These go far beyond the “poking” actions you get with a typical touchscreen, or the gross gesturing found in video-based interactive interfaces. It is a rich area for research, and we are extremely excited by its potential for advances in efficiency, usability, and intuitiveness. It’s also just so much fun!“
it sure looks like it. the new ideas like the slingshot are awesome. let’s hope not everything here is going to be locked away in the corporate patent safe…

thing. It’s like a keyboard/sequencer/monitor that he designed and wrote the
software for.”
