Last Tuesday, I went to the EDM to see my councellors, Maarten Cardinaels and Davy Vanacken. We discussed what my main goal is going to be.
The main goal is to explore the multitouch interface and how it can help editing videos, and the editing itself will probably not go much further than the basic open, save, split, join, view operations. Another thing they mentioned was that most of the applications similar to this, were always oriented in 1 direction, so all of the persons interacting with the appliation, must stand on the same side. The obvious solution is to be able to rotate the videos, so this is what I’m going to attempt.
My councellors also send me 2 classes to receive and parse the UDP data send from the multitouch table, and then raise the normal mouse events: press, move and release. I have not been able to get these classes to work, but i have made a test application for trying out what wpf has to offer for the basic translate, rotate en scale operations on videos. You can see the result below.
