We’ve seen how impressive Microsoft Surface Computing Technology is. Here comes another version, running on Ubuntu showing off touch technology powered by MPX Multi Touch.
Gizmodo’s explanation on MPX:
MPX or Multi-Pointer X is a modification of the X Windows Server that allows multiple input devices to be used at the same time. You only need a normal computer plus any number of keyboards and mice attached to use it. The system lets multiple users interact with one or various applications simultaneously. The software is still in development and there are a ton of bugs to fix according to Peter. However, it will give you a good idea about what you will be able to do.
