In this project we have created an interactive multitouch audio experience application built in Actionscript 3 / Flash. Using the TUIO multitouch and SiON synthesizer libraries have been able to develop a portable multitouch application that can be controlled using a professional multitouch surface such as the surface in the Intertain lab at the VU in Amsterdam, but also with a homemade multitouch surface such as the one we created as seen in the photo's below.
Though the application is built for TUIO multitouch data, it also has singletouch mouse support, so be sure to try out the NiftySynth application. For a demonstration on the Intertain multitouch surface please watch the Vimeo video below!
