Out Popped Google Wave

Looks a little cluttered to me. I haven't had the opportunity to try out Google Wave.

Interactive Touch Screens Out and About: Touch Screen Party Planner for ASDA, by H Squared LTD
Found on YouTube:

The video below was produced by H Squared LTD, a creative retail design company based in the UK. It demonstrates how a single-touch application is used to help people plan their parties when they visit the ASDA store.
This company just uploaded a number of videos, which can be viewed on the H Squared LTD YouTube channel. It looks like this company has some experience with interactive television. I'm not sure if this company has ventured into multi-touch.
To learn more, I visited the H Squared LTD website, and found that it works pretty nicely on my TouchSmart PC. You can turn the pages of Issue 1 of the magazine. The music's fun, too, and it sounds as if someone put some thought into how it was mixed.
If you are contemplating what sort of outfit you'd like to wear to your next costume party, take a look at the styles in the ASDA's photoshoot video. The music? "Somebody's Watching Me".
A great beat, and you can dance to it.

News from NUITEQ and 3M
Various multi-touch and natural-user interface/interaction companies have been collaborating, and results are promising.
Here is the result of a collaboration between 3M and NUITEQ, the company based in Sweden:
In this video, you'll see SnowFlake software used in a variety of contexts, such as education, architecture, health, financial consultation, product browsing, games, playing with special effects, and more.
What a difference since 2007, when I shared what I was doing in my graduate classes on this blog!

IntuiLab's Interfaces: Multi-touch applications/solutions for presentation, collaboration, GIS, and commerce
This is a company I've been meaning to write about! Here is the plug from the IntuiLab website:
"Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Toulouse, France, IntuiLab is a leader in the design and development of surface computing-based applications. Through IntuiFace, the company’s portable, scalable and extensible software surface computing platform, IntuiLab delivers and deploys applications that bring tangible returns on investment to its clients by providing their customers and users with a more natural, immersive and memorable interactive experience. IntuiLab is a Microsoft and Adobe partner and has clients in a wide variety of industries such as retail, food and health, banking, aerospace and defense, telecoms and hospitality."
"We are able to deliver such benefits to our customers thanks to a unique blend of skills (our multidisciplinary IntuiTeam), technology (the IntuiFace Surface Computing Software Platform), process (the IntuiSign design process) and a wide range of partners."
R.U.S.E. on Intuilab's Interface
IntuiLab lets you blow things up with your hands (Jimin Brelsford, CrunchGear 10/09/09)
It is not all for fun and games:
Amazon Multi-touch Clinet on the IntuiFace Platform
"This video shows an example of how to access to an online retail catalogue (such as Amazon) from a Surface Computer rich client, and create, browse and merge lists of queried or selected items in a natural way." -Intuilabs
Multi-user Web Browsing on a Windows 7-based 19" 3M Multi-touch
Pictures from the Intuilab website:






If you take a look at Intuilab's "the team" page, you'll find that they look like...graduate students! They probably are, or were, given the size of list of published papers. This tells me that they must have their heart, mind, and souls poured into the business!
IntuiLab's Partners
I should brush up on my French and pay them a visit!
