TwittertabulaTouch, more multi-touch
Posted July 11th 2006 under Multi-touch, Surfaces
Created by Stefano Baraldi (at Natural Interaction), tabulaTouch is a multi-touch sensing platform for tabletop interaction. The first application tabulaMaps allows gestural zooming and navigation over maps. Watch a video.
Although using Frustrated Total Internal Reflection as premiered by Jef Han, Stefano was developing a similar technique for this Lightable when Jefs paper on the subject was published. Its good to see a host of people building upon this research so that the technology becomes accessible for us to use and making prototyping of interfaces easier to build. It will be interesting to see what applicaitons Stefano creates next.
