CUBIT (multi-touch)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CUBIT is an open source multi-touch system designed by Stefan Hechenberger and Addie Wagenknecht for NOR_/D. It was developed to "demystify multitouch" technology through making its software and hardware open source and is a direct competitor of Microsoft Surface[1][2].

[edit] Purchasing

Users can purchase the Touchkit so long as they supply their own projector/camera at a cost estimated to be between $1080 and $1,580 USD. As of May 2, 2008 they are accepting pre-orders for these kits which they call the TouchKit. [3][4]

The CUBIT system currently is for sale by commission basis only.
