At a recent This happened, Simon Oliver (Hand Circus) demonstrated to us the process of creating his iPhone game Rolando. I will write about this more once have the video of the presentation online, but what is very clear is that as a gaming & entertainment platform it is really going to take off. [...]

SarcasticGamer puts things into perspective with this parody video of Microsoft Surface :)

More from the multi-touch bandwagon, although I should point out this isn’t a product from Hewlett Packard, but an interactive marketing tool for the D5 conference, created by San Francisco agency Obscura Digital (on behalf of ad agency Goodby Silverstein Partners).
The surface lets you browse through 5 years of D conference videos, photos, articles and [...]

Continuing research into applications of multi-touch, Microsoft have just announced their multi-touch and tangible interface named Surface. A 30 inch display built into this table demonstrates many of the models of interaction we have seen previously, but is the first to be mass produced for market. Using camera tracking and a wide angle [...]

Jens began his project quite some time ago, but has had to put it on hold to complete other university work. The whole process has [...]

More examples of multi-touch surface interaction, this time in the form of Tangent, created by students Christian Iten and Daniel Lüthi.
Also using the FTIR technique camera tracking technique. The videos show a variety of interaction model demos, whilst not as complex as some of Jefs’ work, its a great diploma project. They have however [...]
