Touchless - A webcam multi-touch SDK

submitted by wisemx 14 hours, 33 minutes ago

officelabs.com — That brings us to today, releasing Touchless to the world outside Microsoft, as a *FREE* *OPEN-SOURCE* SDK with a low barrier to entry for developers and users. Touchless makes developing multi-touch capable software easy, and the results can be enjoyed by anyone with a webcam (and some M&Ms :))! Touchless has come a long way, but its journey has just begun. I can imagine a variety of great directions to explore using Touchless. Perhaps support for the forthcoming Windows multi-touch API, video chat white-boarding, implementing mouse/game/hotkey/media control, and designing decked out Minority Report style file/media browsers. read more...

Weblogs.asp.net and www.asp.net Under New Management

submitted by wisemx 6 days, 9 hours ago

weblogs.asp.net — I just learned that our favourite Microsoft community sites (www.asp.net, www.iis.net, www.silverlight.net, and www.windowsclient.net) are under new management. The fabulous people at Telligent are "changing direction to focus more on building and servicing our flagship product: Community Server". So, welcome to Jay Esguerra and the folks at Neudesic who have officially taken over managing the sites today. I'm a bit nostalgic to see the management change hands at www.asp.net. I remember the early years when the site and code were Rob Howard's personal responsibility. I was in charge of the ASP.NET Control Gallery back then and dealt directly with Rob to get tweaks made to the pages. At that time, Rob's original code was downloadable from the late GotDotNet site. read more...
