Playing with HP Multi-Touch on Win7 for Amplify09
Today I have been having fun with the HP IQ528 – thanks HP! We are planning to use at the Amplify09 event this Friday. I installed the Windows 7 touch pack and added a beta multi-touch driver (thanks to Windows 7 TechNet forums) and a few games such as Airhockey from IdentityMine who did some great apps for Surface. Check out these great videos showcasing their work.
Much like Gizmodo demonstrated in Video in February:
Tap and multi tap (pitched sounds). tap and hold brings up right click functionality
Flick: page up and down
Zoom:pinch and stretch to enhance
Rotate: single hold and gesture on second point
Draw: multiple touch points for painting
What we found most disturbing, on a related note, was the HP Touch Smart Web camera avatars. Some people just look odd as a dog!
Also there are a number of Office Labs projects being updated for Multi-Touch touch as:
PPT Flex
Canvas for OneNote
