Getting up to speed

I am still hammering out my main research goals/problems, but I am working on a project to develop a multi-touch technology based workbench for video analysis. In doing so, I hope to unveil some potentially poignant problems to address.

Over the last few days, I was working on getting "tbeta" ported over to OS X. Tbeta is a revamping of touchlib, an open-source library for multi-touch application development created by Nuigroup for capturing touch events. However, the new tbeta is built on openFrameworks so that it is cross-platform, cross-compiler, and introduces a user to create a graphical front-end for their multi-touch software. I have been working with a few of guys at Nuigroup to get tbeta up and running. On Friday, I was finally able to get it to compile in XCode and run. It's still buggy and needs to be cleaned up and optimized, but here is a screenshot of it so far.
