 Multi-Touch is coming more and more mainstream everyday. The MacBook Pro's have it now, and it looks like with the help of Christian Moore and the team at NUI Group soon anyone can develop for it. They have put together a framework (Lux) available to all platforms that allows for all the fun eye-candy multi-touch that you see from Microsoft's Surface or Jeff Han's Magic Wall.
The demo is done in Flash because it was the fastest and easiest way to prototype, but has C++ programs running for all the background work. While Christian recognizes that the Apple multi-touch has an advantage because it is run at the core level, this opensource alternative is welcomed by all.
