What is MultiTouch? On touchscreen displays, multi-touch refers to the ability to simultaneously register three or more distinct positions of input touches. It is often used to describe other, more limited implementations. Apple has recently used multi-touch in nearly all of its products. Hey Guys, What are You Developing? A touchscreen coffee table. And the future.The table has a large screen implemented into the centre of its top. This can be interacted with by touching it or with objects.For example, you need to find out where the nearest Starbucks is. Laptops upstairs, phones useless. Touch the VividTable and it powers to life. There are icons where you select the Maps icon and it loads up your current location. Type in Starbucks into the search bar, and you realise there is a newly built Starbucks in town.

To develop our latest table prototype To produce free tutorials for you to produce your own table To complete our multitouch operating system Our main tasks here are to produce a new table prototype. This will enable us to create a table which will cost less than £1500 to purchase. In comparison, the cheapest table available out there is £7000 to purchase, and is incredibly difficult to purchase for home use.Our secondary task is to create tutorials to create your own multitouch tables for less than £500. The service will be completely free of charge. We will need the funding so that we can research the cheapest stages in producing the tables at home. Why Does the World Need This? Touchscreen is the way forward. Humans are incredibly tactile, and so operating by buttons or by voice, we believe will never excel as a means of interaction. Other Ways You Can Help...
