This is a research prototype used to test multi-touch interaction in parallel coordinates using the multi-touch trackpads on Apple's recent MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. This is part of a paper that is currently under review. More information will be forthcoming here once the paper is accepted.
The data is currently hardcoded, so this is not a useful program. It is only meant to demonstrate the speed and ease of interaction when using multi-touch interaction (especially compared to programs like the Java version of ParVis)
Watch the video to see the interactions that are possible: http://vimeo.com/13437693
Since the mouse cannot be used in the program, these keys can be used to change settings.
o... toggles the overlay that shows the position of the fingers on the trackpad relative to the projected axes.f... toggles fullscreen mode. Especially useful because the window can sometimes lose focus otherwise. Use the escape key orfagain to leave fullscreen mode.m... toggles the mouse. This is mostly to demonstrate why it's a bad idea to have a visible mouse pointer when doing multi-touch interaction.
