I'm answering despite not knowing really anything about how the
technology works - but as the Microsoft Surface links got passed around
a few days ago, one of the links was a DIY multi touch table. I only
skimmed the forum link really, but it had some screen shots of the
fingers being pressed on the glass and the area where the fingers were
looked like blobs (hence they were talking about blob detection
algorithms). I think they were using some kind of camera to point up at
the table to detect where the finger blobs were.
If some kind of video camera that can work with flash can do whatever
optically it needs to do, and AS3 is fast enough to perform whatever
blob detection algorithms they need, then it's very much possible in
flash. But you know, those are big ifs. aren't they?

Curious, how are multi-touch events handled with Flash? Currently isn't
even remotely possible is it? Or maybe with an ActiveX wrapper of some
kind?

Subject: [Flashcoders] commercial flash multi-touch projects?
Hello list -- this may be OT or rule-breaking, but please
don't kill me over it. I did a bit of work on the MS Surface
project on a temporary basis and had a great time with it
(see endquote.com for some info). Unfortunately due to some
technology decisions in the group, Flash devs are not really
needed anymore. I'd love to do more multi-touch work, but am
not sure who's doing work in this area combined with Flash.
If anyone is involved in or aware of projects in this area in
need of dev help, I'd love to hear about it.
thanks,
-josh
