And to me it's the nicest design of a frame for a multi-touch display which i've seen this far. So I wanted to do...

David "Whitenoise" Wallin, one of the main developers at NUIgroup, wrote a couple of applications in Flash 9 using Actionscript 3 to collaborate with the multi-touch display. These Flash applications communicate with TUIO data (OSC implemented) sent by Touchlib (THE open source multi-touch library).

At this point I'm translating what I already wrote down in Dutch to English and I will continue to write the howto guide in...

After being busy for quite a while to get in shape with Actionscript 3 to collaborate with this multitouch project, I was able to work on the screen again.
