windows 7 and Multitouchvista

In our previous post you can see our first demo,

There are some small differences in our setup since our last video's,

We upgraded our pc from a P4 to a Dual core developers machine, Tbeta runs much smoother now.
We also installed Windows7 on it. Why? Because Windows 7 supports Multi touch input.

The only problem is that Windows does not know that we made a multi touch screen, it just sees a independent projector and webcam, so we need to tell Windows that there are Multiple (touch) inputs possible, multiple inputs as in, we connect 4 different mouses to the pc and each user can control it's own mouse and do different things with it.

One way, and as far as we know, the only way at this moment is to install MultiTouchVista.
This project is still in alpha phase, we need to compile the solutions ourself.

But for some reason we can't seem to get it working, and that is what we are figuring out now.

  1. Hi Folks
    Interesting to see your work. We are active in many technology fields including screens materials for multi touch with our ICE Digital Daytime range and also F1 simulation. If you need to have supplier we would be interested to work with and supply you.

    If you search the NUI group for ICE AV you can see my comments and videos etc.
