It all started while we were researching an article on future user interfaces. Touch interfaces are hardly futuristic at this point, but multi-touch hardware like the Microsoft Surface or the iPhone is just starting to become a big deal, and we decided to see what big things are going on in that field. What we found that surprised us the most wasn’t anything about the future of multitouch; it was about something that people are doing right now .
This Instructable shows you how to create a mini-multitouch interface out of simple parts you can order online or purchase at a typical construction/hardware store. Multitouch interfaces are surfaces that can register multiple 'touch points' at the same time,
Nortd Labs' TouchKit is a modular multitouch development solution with the aim to make multitouch readily available in an open source approach. The system is comprised of software and hardware components. For both we provide the source files and welcome you to use, study, and appropriate the code and schematics for your work or projects (of course, giving us credit won't hurt your nerdcred either).
