We all suspected that Mac OS X would one day support a multi-touch interface, similar to the iPhone’s - but not from a third party company. Lux is currently an experimental framework that brings multi-touch in full screen to Mac OS X. Christian Moore has managed to get this entire multi-touch system running on Apple’s low-end MacBook laptop. He claims that his framework can in fact run on any platform. The gesture recognition and animation of the interface are comparable to that of Jeff Han or the Microsoft Surface. Lux is scheduled to go public in June. See the video after the jump.
The video below shows Lux in action - running surprisingly well for a MacBook. Be sure to check out Gizmodo’s interview with Christian, the developer, too.
