Long time..
It's been a long time since I've been able to post anything, but I really haven't had too much to blog about. I'm working a bit on strategy game in Flash 9 - think of it as Master of Orion meets Weird Worlds meets Monopoly. I'll post more when I have something worth showing. My goal is to keep it pretty simple so that I actually finish it. I also have been thinking about getting back to working on my music app Genome since both Buzz and Buze leave something to be desired under Windows Vista (and that something is 'not crashing constantly').
I am still working on building a multitouch screen for my workplace - I should have the last bit of hardware this week (a first surface mirror for projection), so I am hoping I will be able to start putting it all together. I am interested in trying out some different things like seeing how well the CityWall approach works and maybe trying to elevate the LED's slightly like the Tangent table. I ordered a big piece of silicone rubber but it sticks to my acrylic too much to be useful. I wonder if a thinner piece attached to a more rigid piece of plastic would stick less. I'd also like to try some of the plasti-dip on a thicker piece of the mylar drafting paper. I think that might work well.

I'm curious if lifting the silicone slightly off the surface using spacers around the edges would work.
it could, definately. You'd have to have a way of keeping it tensioned.
uh, I don't think this would work -- if you pressed on four points, the silicone would be pressed down also between these points creating a large area of touch... (or it would need some good filtering?)
