• Touchscreen @ Wikipedia.
• Linux Touch Screen HOWTO.
• New touch-driven display video.
• Multi-Touch Interaction Research.
  Bi-manual, multi-point, and multi-user interactions on a graphical display surface.
• XWinder.
• Muti-touch touchscreen technology behind the Apple iPhone revealed.
• Multi-touch update.
• XGL em monitor TouchScreen – Parte 01.
• XGL em monitor TouchScreen – Parte 02.
• Multi-Touch Display Applications.

• JazzMutant’s Lemur is an innovative input device to control computer real-time applications.

  It combines a distinctive industrial design, a brilliant modular graphic interface concept, and a unique and patented touchscreen technology that can track multiple fingers simultaneously.
