I've created a multi-touch monster

The multi-touch device I've been building since June is finally working now. There can be some tweaking and calibrating to improve its performance, but at least now its working.

Multi-touch Stand

Received the materials to build my multi-touch stand this past Thursday. There were a few minor issues with the materials and design, so now I need to wait for the supplier to me some fabricated pieces. It's a little frustrating right now since it's so close. I can't wait to get the hardware components to a completed stage (...aka satisficing) so I can focus solely on the software ui with Adobe Flash.
