1133961 2010-09-02 08:25:00 The team and I have come to the conclusion that there is almost no point in developing MT hardware. Tables that require a camera to detect infra red or lasers are too big and most technology now uses capacitant digitizers such as the ones in apples iTouch/Phone/Pad series. So we don't see much point in developing an old hardware technology when there are perfectly good ones available.

We are still going to build tables to order and play with the hardware but are going to concentrate our efforts on developing (most likely) open source software for MT applications. I thought I'd ask you guys (and gals) what sort of applications you'd like to see with MT and what they should do. We won't be building any software too soon but we just want to get an Idea of what people want to do with MT technology.

Regards

The Dev team.

MT = MultiTouch

MT Board = Similar to Microsoft Surface

1133964 2010-09-04 06:17:00 Probably. so far its not much "fun", all work and no play! the "fun" starts when we start making the embedded OS and apps and constantly crash/reinstall/boot/crash the test rigs!!

Ah, good ole technical difficulties
