I dunno if anyone has seen this:

It’s an overhead projection but it looks cool all the same

No I hadn’t seen that one before. I’m not really a fan of top projection. In the beginning, it doesn’t seem to respond that well.
But at least it can see what users is using it opposed to what we have seen from MS this far regarding the drawing app
I’m not a fan of that MERL product either because people actually have to sit in specific place in order to make multitouch possible, because it works with little electronic signals that the surface gives to the chair where to person sits on, through that person.

pesonally in my opinion if you have to stand in a particular place/position for it to work, then it doesnt work.
i just like it cos it runs on linux!

This is really nice!. Do you guys know if there is a way to control xp using multi-touch? similar to what this set up is like? I haven’t looked into much of the software that is out yet, but i would think something that would let you control your computer with the MT interface....would be pretty slick =)

I believe TouchTracer does that.  There was a new release the other day.  Look in the Software category (General - maybe C++).
