The iPhone popularized
multitouch displays–touch screens that recognize more than one touch at a
time. Then Microsoft brought them to the large screen with the Surface, a
multitouch table. Now engineers at Nortd in New York have created a do-it-yourself,
18-by-27-inch multitouch screen. By using open-source software and selling kits
for building the hardware, Nortd has significantly reduced the cost of owning a
multitouch display, while enabling freelance programmers to develop novel
applications.
