touchd/mpx/compiz = awesomeness

Found these awesome projects last night. I think I will be jumping from touchlib and libavg to touchd and mpx.

and this is just awesome

Touchlib and clutter

Finally got touchlib setup and running on my apple. Tomorrow I plan on starting the build for the MTmini. Which should get me up and running for some basic multitouch dev by the end of next week. Hoping to eventually reach two goals with this research. The first being a way to manipulate and display complex data. Secondly, combining concepts from touchlib with clutter for linux multitouch desktop apps.

I dropped about 5 side projects for this so wish me luck!

Free Culture

“We believe that culture should be a two-way affair, about participation, not merely consumption. We will not be content to sit passively at the end of a one-way media tube. With the Internet and other advances, the technology exists for a new paradigm of creation, one where anyone can be an artist, and anyone can succeed, based not on their industry connections, but on their merit.”
