Recently, I’ve been working on some Windows Multitouch applications. These apps have been built using WPF and .Net 3.5 using Microsoft’s Touch Interop Library. Since .Net 4.0 isn’t officially released yet, I haven’t been using it for any production apps, even though it would be the preferred choice for Windows Multitouch.
One of the bigger challenges with trying to design and create applications that take advantage of Windows 7’s native multitouch support is the hardware. There is currently a fairly limited choice of external displays that you can add to your setup to begin working with. All of the displays work the same in that they connect to your computer via a standard display port (VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc) and then also connect via USB to supply the touch device.
