GBM InkShow: Windows 7 and N-Trig Pre-Beta Multi-Touch Demo

Posted by | 11/06/2008 | 17 Comments

image When N-Trig released their Windows 7 multi-touch drivers today, it was all I could do to finish up some needed work and keep focused on the task at hand. Soon enough, though, I had an opportunity to install the new drivers on my Latitude XT Tablet PC running Windows 7 and record this short InkShow demo.

As you’ll see, things are bit rough at this pre-beta stage and not near as polished as many, like myself, had hoped. The experience is not very consistent and can be a quite jerky. It is not a smooth experience at all.   That said, it is important for all of us to remember that this is a pre-beta Windows 7 install running pre-beta N-Trig multi-touch drivers. There is a long ways to go between now and the end of 2009.

    If I wanted ‘gestures’ – I would have gotten a macbook.

    1)Yes please do another video when the ‘Picture-Suru’ sample code and app get released by MS within the coming weeks

    2)and fingerpainting. to see how responsive and accurate that works.

    the point of onscreen multitouch is to give you extra precision and speed by WHERE you touch.
    [i thought gestures were just a little decoy to keep XT customers in good faith. Something that would get dropped quickly for the real deal, nothing anyone every took seriously]

    I just realized this from watching another win 7 touch and scrolling video, but i think there’s a good reason why the window was “pulled down” when Rob scrolled it. I think that’s visual feedback that you’re at the limits of the scrollbar.
