We are excited to announce that the wonderful work of the SurfNet community has been published within an eBook called “SurfNet: Designing Digital Surface Applications”. It contains more than 20 chapters reporting on Canadian surface and multi-touch research, including a chapter by members of the vialab on the Simple Multi-Touch Toolkit. You can download the eBook at nsercsurfnet.ca.
SurfNet was a Canadian research network from 2010 to 2015 that supported over 400 students and resulted in more than 700 publications and presentations. Its goal was to improve the development, performance, and usability of software applications for surface computing environments including multi-touch screens, tabletops, and wall-sized displays.
