For those of you who thought multi-touch first came with Jeff Han or the Iphone, have a look at this page. The picture on top here is from the Multi-Touch Tablet developed at Toronto University in 1985. By the [...]

The OSC-protocol is implemented directly on the embedded device, this means the OSC signals are sent directly from the board to your OSC-port. [...]
