Getting a new DiamondSpin table for the HCI students
I've been talking to all the people I can find from the Mitsubishi Electronics Research Lab in a mad attempt to talk them into giving us a DiamondTouch table. We used to have one but Yvonne took it to the UK.
When I was working on the DiamondTouch table, the Java API (DiamondSpin) was in version 1.0 and was miserable to use. Needless to say, I was very burned out on it when we finished out project. However I was looking at DiamondSpin again now that it has become opensourced. So many improvements have been made that I am feeling antsy to do a new project. We have several students at Informatics that have project ideas that would be perfect for the ole DT Table.
I guess now what I need to do is get together with anyone who thinks they want to do a project and try to write up a project proposal to send to MERL.
