We are conducting research on several aspects related to multi-touch displays. We have begun the development of an open-source, post-WIMP, platform-independent, multi-touch user interface development toolkit called PyMT. PyMT makes it very easy to prototype and develop multi-touch applications in Python. We are using multi-touch displays to develop advanced communication technologies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In addition, we have developed visualizations of disease spread simulations in a hospital. |
