CUBIT

Cubit, often stylized CUBIT, is a computer user interface system for multi-touch devices, designed by Stefan Hechenberger and Addie Wagenknecht for Nortd Labs. It was developed to "demystify multitouch" technology by using an open-source model for software and hardware. It is a direct competitor of Microsoft Surface.[1][2][3]

Purchasing

As of 2 May 2008, Nortd Labs is accepting orders for developer kits named the TouchKit. Kit buyers and users must supply their own projector and camera at a cost estimated at between $1,080 and $1,580 USD.[1][4]

As of July 2008, the CUBIT system is for sale, by commission only, and both are rumored to have a two to three-month waiting list.[5]

gollark: For example, page names are finally not the only thing they can be addressed by. Pages have IDs and can have multiple names. They are matched case insensitively.
gollark: 7.1 is very elegant, I think, and finally fixes a lot of issues. It also introduces cool new ones.
gollark: Minoteaur 1 is the original JS implementation with server rendering and selfreplicators. 2 is a Rust thing which was meant to be client rendered and did not really happen. 3 and 4 are variants of a more TiddlyWiki-inspired design or something. 5 is a server rendered Rust one which doesn't work well. 6 is a server rendered Nim one which works badly in different ways. 7 is Python and 7.1 is Python with a different architecture.
gollark: I forgot the exact ordering, but 2 is on my disk somewhere, 3 and 4 are very similar and also there, and 5 is on my disk somewhere.
gollark: Minoteaur 1 and 6 are publicly available.
