living with technology and other stuff
I set up a quick café press store while I’m trying to find the best source to get some better mugs designed. I’m even thinking about doing a kickstarter to get the initials funds for the first run.
Until then, you can visit my little store and pick up a Cthulhu mug or two

See David Kelley of Wirestone demonstrate his prototype for building immersive retail experiences. As a customer approaches a product, the price tag, display and even the placement wall can all come alive with this integrated application.

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.

Working on a project that will use an RFID tag to unlock a secret admin mode of an application. More to come soon!
