Fingertapps has some pretty interesting software for multi-touch manipulation. (Contact Ben Wilde)

The have worked with the following hardware platforms:

NextWindow Optical Touch screens which use optical sensors and are relatively accurate in displays from 12″ – 120″ i would want to see it in action to see if the 20ms between finger touch-down is an issue.

N-Trig also makes a very responsive capacitive touch panel that from what I can see is a two point touch system that will be very slick but may only be for smaller screens (<32″) though I can’t find size info.

Here are some Mutlitouch supplies from Environmental Lights. com

Color By Numbers A tower of lights that are controlled via cell phone. I wonder if people have any sense of what they are doing but I like the beacon aspect of it. Unfortunately it looks like a big cross from the you tube video. The cell phone is not a great interface for it in this way though a visual representation of it with real time control would make more sense.
