Hi !

Hello ! This is a compilation video of most of the applications we've come up with , which by the way we presented in our semester juries. Our final concept was, to put in a lot of applications and present a concept for a future Multitouch based OS. I'll try and explain all the apps very briefly here ... 1.

The Director visits ...

The Director of National Institute of Design, Dr.Darlie O Koshy, visited us today - to have a look at our project. He was impressed (to say the least :-) ) and took keen interest in going through the details of the table. Dr Koshy, plays "myTangrams", our first game for multitouch He spoke words of appreciation on the variety of applications that we have developed and the future possibilities of this project . Good day so far :) Cheers Adithya | Divesh
