Windows 7 and KDE4 Multitouch

KDE4 is being designed with multi touch interfaces in mind. Its fascinating stuff. I think open source is going to do amazing things with this technology when it goes mainstream.

From the comments on aseigo’s blog.

“One great feature would be if the the files on the desktop where show as tumbnails that can be resized, rotated and moved in a way that can be easily used in multitouch interfaces.”
when we get multitouch devices in the hands of developers, i’m sure this will happen quite naturally. one of the main reasons we have rotate in there right now is in preparation for such developments, actually.

Microsoft with their money are going to be the ones who make multi touch go mainstream however. If as promised Windows 7 includes multitouch functionality we may soon see multitouch hardware on new machines. I can’t wait
If you don’t know what multi touch is have a look at the video at the bottom of this post. http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/05/29/microsoft-announces-surface-computer/

Exciting stuff!
