wow.. i must say wow!! :)

one thing i'd like to quote:
Looking around on the web and in the research literature, I found that all the multitouch systems are a hack (I'm talking about software integration here, not the hardware!). Multi-touch support needs to be in the windowing system. Any client-side approach is wrong. (Feel free to disagree with me on that)
now i'm very eager to know more about it! it wud definitely make an interesting read!! :)

i cudn't get one thing... the display was projected from behind... then on what screen were they working on?

...and the thing is available for test(if u got teh hardware!) in Linux.he got ubuntu feisty repo set.

^ yet very experimental
so actually M$ surface (http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/?q=node/80) too is a hack which they project as a revolutionary discovery(hihihi):D and now with mpx on the line.who saves:rolleyes:
