You see that guy? He’s enjoying life… enjoying the heck out it. Just look at him. He’s jabbin’ his meat nub against that 27″ touchscreen screen and loving it. Whoa! He just moved that skull slice with multiple fingers?! He’s dangerous and he knows it. Who’s making all this possible? I’ll give you one guess…

While I was growing up, I’d occasionally run towards a wall, jam my fingers up into my arms, pass out and wake up to dogs dragging me off into the woods. Fortunately, the dogs were my pets and my fingers healed into agile implements of multi-touch destruction. And thankfully so. At SolidWorks World 2010 I…

There’s a multi-touch rash starting to spread across the butt-checks of CAD that no penetrating ointment will cure. So, when SolidWorks demonstrated their future platform independent MCAD platform it was no surprise to see some multi-touch features thrown into the mix.

Your weekends as a Thief, Cleric or Paladin are about to get really cool and immersive and I’m not talking about the late night meeting with the board of trustees. Using Microsoft Surface, Carnegie Melon’s Entertainment Technology Center has descended into the realms of touchscreen gaming with the development of SurfaceScape. The game, if you…

After seeing the snazzy video showing future multi-touch support for SpaceClaim, I went on the hunt to find out a little bit more. Fortunately, I had the email of Blake Courter, Co-founder of SpaceClaim. Great chap, hung out with him at SolidWorks World 2009, of all places.
