As a side project, a few friends and I decided to build a multi-touch interaction surface. We had no expertise or knowledge at all in the area, but we attempted it regardless—simply to satisfy our curiosity and because multi-touch interfaces are rapidly changing the way we all think about UI design.

This was a fascinating side-project and I would love to pursue multi-touch programming further. It was also quite fun to research and complete something very different than my day to day programming tasks.

Accomplishing this was my first professional opportunity to be over such a challenging and multifaceted problem that affected tens of thousands of people.
