MIRIA SDK adds Gesture Support to Silverlight 3

One of the things I love about writing this blog is the feedback I get from readers - especially when a reader can make me aware of some SDK, tool, device, or demo that I haven't seen. It's really great to share information in this way.

Earlier this week I posted a blog entry entitled "DIY: Multi-touch Gesture Recognition in Silverlight 3" where I explained that Silverlight 3 doesn't come with a gesture recognition engine, so you have to build one yourself. I also pointed to a couple of good articles on how to do this. Maxence Dislaire (gotactile) commented on that post providing a link to an open source project on CodePlex that provides a gesture recognition engine for Silverlight 3 on Windows 7 and even a TUIO bridge if you need one. The project is called MIRIA SDK and while I haven't tried it out myself, it looks like its worth looking into if you are doing multi-touch Silverlight 3 applications.

Some guy's say that SilverPac is the first Multitouch website in the world. Btw I can't confirm this information.

Here was the pressrelease about SilverPac : http://www.mmdnewswire.com/multi-touch-interactive-website-6127.html

Hi, a new demo of MIRIA (work in progress though) is available online:
http://win.generoso.info/MIRIA-Web/UIKitShowcaseTestPage.html

This is just for testing Silveright 3 multitouch and MIRIA, it is not a real application.
SVN source code for that have been updated on Codeplex as well.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
Thank you for linking.

Regards,
Gene.
