You have seen Microsoft’s Surface, amazed with the possibilities, but we still love Jeff Han: Low Cost FTIR. (Surface is also FTIR). That’s why you see my group of student (BScCM, SIG MoCap) research and developing their own Multitouch hardware and interface. Remember, Surface has limited on 52 touch points, we have no limitation. Crazy student Jason make his own tracking blob library and give up other existing library. Wonderful team with Ashley, Don, Cinny working very hard for few overnights on hardware and interface. And brother Jeff and Shek giving a helping hands on their classmate. It is what a media art school should see, not a teacher pushing and helping even working for them. They are a team of independent and active research and developer. What I need to do is just guide and give a little workshop on tracking technique. Good Job Team!

Last week they have already present their work-in-progress in GuLLDY’s open source project seminar. They will then exhibited next Monday in the show case of School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. Let’s looking forward their interface and application, kinda arty or applicable.

At the same time, you will crazy about it HP’s gaint Multitouch wall.
