Multi-Touch Interface for Google Earth
Google Summer of Code Blog mentions about an application created by Pawel Solyga "that allows you to control Google Earth using two finger gestures on [a] multi-touch table". I couldn't find too many details about TouchEarth, but it's an interesting application of the mostly-unknown Google Earth COM API.

In the same spirit, you can watch the Perceptive Pixel's latest demo reel featuring the 8-foot Multi-Touch Collaboration Wall here.
ReplyDeleteStrong resemblance to Jeff Han's "multi-touch, multi-user screen interface" presented at TED in 2006 (see http://www.ted.com/index.php/speakers/view/id/65)
ReplyDeleteInteresting spin-off application of existing technology!
