Multi-Touch Interaction Experiments
February 17, 2006
Oh what fun we could have with these in the Cathedral project!! Multi-touch screens could simplify the production and blending of sound and samples in performance. I know I would have a blast manipulating channels and parameters of sound in a more fluid and visually stimulating way… Nora manipulating her visual themes and mandalas in sweeping, natural movements real-time along with the music…
Not to mention what it could do for gaming, interactive advertising, research, 3D modelling, conceptual modelling for that matter, imaging, art installations, robotics, medicine… I can’t even begin to imagine! Like Tom Cruise in Minority Report. People could take this as another dimension in their art or science and blow open a whole new door or two we haven’t gone through yet.
Of course, I’m just charmed by the grace and presentation of the lovely video… I get idealistic and starry-eyed…

Wow! For Spoleto 1998 we developed a video performance instrument called Chaos. It could search the web and pull in graphics that I manipulated in real time. Well, the reviewer didn’t get it, but if I had one of these multi-touch screens, I bet he’d have been just as gobsmacked. I wrote Jeff a fan letter. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll want to share?
