Multi-touch sensing

Abstract: I will survey a few recent techniques for multi-touch sensing, a generalization of standard devices like trackpads in which multiple points of contact can be tracked simultaneously. I conclude by describing a low-cost technique presented at UIST 2005 that relies on frustrated total internal reflection.

5. General Discussion Items

At some point in the not too distant future, there will be renovations in what use to be Colleen's office, which is adjacent to CGL, to convert Colleen's office into a meeting room. These renovations will require plant ops to be in CGL to access a water pipe in our lab, and will involve construction (noise, dust, things covered with tarps) over a period of two days.
We believe the construction will be in the main lab, but we're still getting that verified. No dates have been set, yet. More information will come is we learn of it.
