Hey guys I’m back. I have been so busy this past quarter year. I haven’t had the time to do much multi touch stuff. Thats about to change. 2009 is a fresh start for me. Going to give more time to the few apps I started and the 2 I have planed. It was hard not having the time to do this sooner but i feel that the time was spent learning new things and getting better at coding. I started using a few new tools like swftools pdf2swf and swfc learning to write sc scripts and compile swfs from scratch. I have been using Flashdevelop and loving it. This is were I say the best part is that it’s free. Thats so not true try it out yourself and see what I mean. Theres tons of things that make it bad ass. Also learned how to use eclipse with the FDT plug-in. What I still what to learn is python and ruby. Also red5 server if I have the time Well gots to run

Check it out multi toucher’s…

3D Effects - Easily transform and animate any display object through 3D space while retaining full interactivity. Fast, lightweight, and native 3D effects make motion that was previously reserved for expert users available to everyone. Complex effects are simple with APIs that extend what you already know.

Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.

Visual Performance Improvements – Applications and videos will run smoother and faster with expanded use of hardware acceleration. By moving several visual processing tasks to the video card, the CPU is free to do more.

Nice!!! here is the link:

Hey guys,

I have time today to work on the MT08 today. So I will finish the LEDs. Then start running test on all the apps I have so far. Also will post video and photos today if I get lucky. This MT08 ( multi touch 2008) is 95 % done with the hardware. The look is a different story altogether. I have to paint it still and finish the box. Mainly the bottom and lower sides. Add wheels and Air flow holes. Also add a power strip. As this is just a prototype I will not go too crazy on the look. The next one I build will be top notch. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that one. So stay tuned today for photos and videos on my MT08 DI set up.

Looking for a Adobe Flash ActionScriptors to help me on a project. The project will include a interactive map, chart and tie into a web service out putting data from users of a website. The map and chart will be multi touch. The website will be single input web 2.0 poll , vote and social network. Sounds like a lot of work but I will be looking to divide it into 3 jobs. I will take on the role of producer and founder. I will help out as much as I can with the code end of it take on the design aspect of it too. So what i need is someone that is good w/ ActionScript and multi touch. Knows Touchlib and has been too NUI. If you don’t know what NUI is don’t bother me.

Send me a email to: justin@niceminds.com

Samples are needed to be considered!!!

What is Touchlib?

Touchlib is a library for creating multi-touch interaction surfaces. It handles tracking blobs of infrared light, and sends your programs these multi-touch events, such as ‘finger down’, ‘finger moved’, and ‘finger released’. It includes a configuration app and a few demos to get you started, and will interace with most types of webcams and video capture devices. It currently works only under Windows but efforts are being made to port it to other platforms.

Just go to this link:

I had an idea to build a flash app that can read coins. If you place the coins on the table and none of them are crossing it will read the size of the coins and count them for you. I think that could even branch out in to a game for younger children. It was just one of many ideas I have.
