Multi-touch interface

A multi-touch interface which can be used for the interactive real-time control of a range of instruments.

Multi-touch interfaces provide the user with the ability to interact with a computer in multiple locations simultaneously so that several digital objects can be controlled independently. The University of Bristol Nanophysics group have implemented an innovative multi-touch interface which can be used for the interactive real-time control of a wide range of instruments. Examples of applications include high-speed atomic force microscopy and holographic optical tweezers systems but almost any type of rapid imaging instrument would benefit. In general this type of interface is ideal for applications where complex instrument functions need to be modified simultaneously or controlled easily.
