Hrm, if you watch the video, the tone definitely changes with the location of the hit -- as in, with the same radius from the microphone, a different note is produced depending on where a finger strikes the surface. Gestures are also included, as you say.
With regard to multitouch -- a) some gestures involve more than one point of contact, and b) there are some bits in the video where it looks like two fingers are striking a surface at the same time and making two tones/noises.
- bradleyland 15y agoDepending upon the type of material, the tone will change when you strike it. I still think it's a mistake to say that this turns a surface in to a "multitouch" surface, because of the vast differences between this and what has commonly been referred to as multitouch. Again, extremely cool technology, but you couldn't for example, attach a microphone to a wall and couple this with a projector to control the OS. That's the inference that gets drawn when you say "multitouch".
