News Cubit: the open source Surface

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/05/06/cubit-the-open-source-surface/1

New York art and technology centre Eyebeam has unveiled an open-source project that enables people to build their own multi-touch table-top interfaces similar to Microsoft's Surface.

 

pretty awesome! DXR, add this project to the list!

 

there was a surface style thing on the gadget show last night, cant remember the name. may well have been this, didn't have a price though

 

of course, this is nothing new - homebrew multitouch has been around for a while, just because someones given it a fancy name and pretty pictures doesn't mean its new nor revolutionary.

 

this was what i was talking about the other day.....

 

Here's hoping someone builds a central library/API so MultiTouch apps and Multitouch hardware works no matter who has made it. Otherwise we're going to end up in an A3D/EAX or 3DFX/PowerVR problem (Before D3D came out and unified the 3D APIs)

 

Sign me up. If this works with ANY projector, my tech-lab at college sells off their half-dead projectors for $25 or less.

 

hi, I want to produce a thing like Cubit for my thesis application. Anybody knows Can I do that in 3 mounths or is it really simple to do that?
thanks
