My goal is to transform the linear video into an interactive video, with hot spots and links: Laying the Groundwork for Interactive Video: Activities for Students with Special Needs: Community Places Road Trip Note: This was my first time trying to shoot video of buildings and signs from a convertible care with the top down ; ) http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com   |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2010 04:30 PM PDT Thanks to Josh Blake, I came across a good article by Charles Petzold in the September 2010 issue of MSDN Magazine: Touch and Response In this article, Charles Petzold continues his discussion of the multi-touch support in version 4 of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). I like the introduction to his article: "Programming is an engineering discipline rather than a science or a branch of mathematics, so rarely does there exist a single correct solution to a problem. Varieties and variations are the norm, and often it's illuminating to explore these alternatives rather than focus on one particular approach." -Charles Petzold I also appreciate Petzold's discussion about smooth Z transitions, his thoughtful code samples and related links. RELATED Multi-touch Manipulation in WPF Charles Petzold (August, 2010, MSDN Magazine, UI Frontiers) "Just within the past few years, multi-touch has progressed from a futuristic sci-fi film prop to a mainstream UI. Multi-touch displays are now standard on new models of smartphones and tablet computers. Multi-touch is also likely to become ubiquitous on computers in public spaces, such as kiosks or the table computer pioneered by Microsoft Surface." "The only real uncertainly is the popularity of multi-touch on the conventional desktop computer. Perhaps the greatest impediment is the fatigue known as "gorilla arm" associated with moving fingers on vertical screens for long periods of time. My personal hope is that the power of multi-touch will actually provoke a redesign of the desktop display. I can envision a desktop computer with a display resembling the configuration of a drafting table, and perhaps almost as large." -Charles Petzold Exploring Multi-Touch Support in SilverlightCharles Petzold (March 2010, MSDN Magazine, Finger Style) Comment: I agree with Charles about the need for a re-design of desktop displays. I like the drafting table as a form factor.
