9 and 10 of October been in a multitouch workshop with Tiago Serra in Audiência Zero in Porto.

in 2007 i was trying to build a multi-touch interface with just one camera to use in Animatic prototype, using Macromedia Director and WebXtra to track blobs in realtime.

I was in the wrong direction, i didnt want to use any surface, just the hands and gestures like the Microsoft Kinetic project that will be released this year. Very diffucult to achieve in those days, without a team and resources.

This workshop was very important to me to turn on some lights that were turned off some years ago.
Tiago Serra is doing a very great job and expanding the idea that is possible to anyone is capable of building a multi-touch interface.

I’m going to explore the multi-touch interface to control the puppets.
