Multi-Touch FPS Controller (Composition by dust)

so this is using the kineme multi-touch patch. it is a basic controller kind of like a fps game controller. i know this is multi-touch but i tried to do as many of the controls possible with one touch. to move left move left to move right move right, to look left turn your finger left to look right turn your finger right. to jump touch down with your second finger. i made a multi-touch macro as well with some basic gestures from apple mouse and interaction patch. there are cursors for max touches all with direction. the interaction feature is so you can use any touch to interact with a mesh or sprite not just your mouse xy. i suppose this interaction would be used to pick up a gun or something that can be controlled with another finger than the controlling finger. enjoy. just extract zip to your desktop in order to visualize. keep the same folder structure or replace with your own model.

Multitouch patch + Wacom Bamboo

Does anyone at Kineme know if the Wacom Bamboo is usable with the multitouch patch?

I would like to be able to get touch input, but not have it also be an input device like the mouse/trackpad (which I would want to use as a control, not as a data input).

Any ideas if that is possible?

New Wacom Touch tablet and Quartz Composer

You may or may not have seen the latest release from Wacom, a consumer-aimed multitouch (ahem, multi=2 tracking points) tablet that works with a pen or two fingers.

I'm interested in using it as a test bed for some multi-touch ideas in conjunction with QC, and am wondering if anyone else has tried it yet, and how to go about that.

At a guess, the HID patch would be my first thing to reach for, but I've not been able to get anything useful out of it using an older Wacom, which may be a driver issue.
