FlashForward2008: DIY Multi-touch from IDEO
August 23rd, 2008 by Caleb
w00t! The folks at IDEO are working their magic again, this time in the form of a DIY kit for creating Flash based multi-touch interfaces. That’s right, IDEO-made sorcery is now available to all via the IDEO labs blog at labs.ideo.com, complete with an ActionScript API (on Google Code) … how can one not love that?
Apparently Flash was well suited for the task at hand. According to the team at IDEO, “”Flash proved to be a very nimble way to support this type of exploration”.
You can check out the actual video showcasing the interaction on the IDEO labs blog.

The Google Code page says it’s AS2 and not AS3.
It still is a nice construction, too bad they don’t give more info on how they build it.
