Latest development

Since the introduction of iPhone and its multi-touchcapabilities, Kreateevee experimented with making affordablemulti-touch technology available beyond mobile devices,specifically for large-format displays

We experimented with a hosts of different hardware,software, applications and finally ended up with a fusion ofselected open source tools, our proprietary software andmodules

Our first commercially-viable product with this technology issimply known as the Multi-Touch table

How it works?

Hardware Infrared light is shined from below the touch surface

When an object touches the surface it reflects more light thanobjects in the background; the extra light is sensed by a camera

Depending on the software, this method can also detect hoverand objects placed on the surface.

Content Development

Entirely dependant on the multi-touch hardware & softwaretracker

Kreateevees Multi-touch table uses content developed inAdobe Flash/Actionscript 3 with multi-touch event handlers to

detect interaction Existing Adobe Flash/AS3-based content can be adapted for
