Work in Progress.

Introduction

I'm currently building a multi-touch surface inspired by Jeff Han's TED presentation.

There are also quite a few other people building multi-touch surfaces and many of us have gotten together via a forum and chat room. If you are interested in participating, please join us! Below are some links to other people's sites, pictures, information, etc.. Keep scrolling to the What's New section to see the progress of my multi-touch surface.
