Latitude XT tablet running Windows 7 Beta with multi touch


Thanks to the contributions at NUI Group I was able to hack my Dell Latitude XT tablet running Windows 7 Beta to run multi touch applications developed in Flash. This hack utilizes the underlying multi touch capabilities in Windows 7.

Currently it only tracks up to 5 points simultaneously but since this is unofficial it is difficult to know if that is a technical limitation or due to the nature of the hack.

Check out a short clip of the action.
