Multiuser technologies are getting popularity as game consoles, mobile and handheld devices and traditional computer systems are trying to get closer to each other. This technology is ideal for digital social networking, its already being used for communication purposes such as chatting, video conferencing. But now a days online games are using this technology. X Box and Nintendo games are the market leaders in this field.
I wonder if same data can be used for different visual representation for different user groups in single application.

Multitouch is one of amazing new technologies, which is being explored and adapted by top class companies. That is why Adobe has announced to include multitouch technology in its latest CS5 version. Inventor Dan Zen has explored this technology in Goose. This technology can be used in various fields such as developing multitouch games, tutorials of assembling machines part by part, applications for handheld devices etc.
This technology is currently working on XAMPP Windows Server. There is no restriction on number of users interacting, but we can manage addition and deletion of different users accordingly.

There are some new and exciting technologies which worth to be explored. Ostrich is one of them. User can interact with the system using simple webcam.
I just started exploring this technology which is invented by Dan Zen.

To me its really exciting technology, which can be used for advanced multimedia interactions. This Adobe Flash based technology is very easy to learn for those who know any Object Oriented Language. This application detects the movement on the webcam attached to the system and interacts accordingly.

I am still exploring this technology and will hopefully come up with new ideas.
