LenovoDev launches Multi-Touch Multi-Hack - a hackathon for developers with a prize fund of $ 25,000

There are many ways to interact with the fingers of one hand. High five. Keep the cams. "Put up-put up" little fingers. Lend a helping hand. Greet each other with fists. LenovoDev goes further: we offer Windows developers to use all ten fingers on both hands and win!


We open Multi-Touch Multi-Hack, an online application development marathon using our developer kit for multi-user multi-touch technology (MUMT). The YOGA Home MUMT platform, created by Lenovo, allows you to use all ten fingers when interacting with a tablet screen or computer touch screen and allows multiple users to work with the device simultaneously. The marathon's prize fund is $ 25,000, besides this is a variety of Lenovo computers and tablets and various suggestions for promoting your applications through Lenovo’s business development and marketing channels.

What makes MUMT so interesting?
The platforms that allow us to work with the device in the most physiologically natural way determine the development trends of human-computer technology. YOGA Home SDK enables people to work with touch screens using natural physical movements of hands and fingers. Thus, thanks to the MUMT technology, the already familiar set of gestures — as a rule, limited to touch, flicking and dragging — is complemented by new ones that use all the fingers of one or both hands. Rotation, scaling, rotation, wave-like movements, flipping through the whole palm, “do-si-do” and even “moonwalk” - all these gestures can be used to work with Lenovo devices. The interface instantly responds simultaneously to all commands. And the screen works in any orientation, so the device can be controlled from any angle.

To participate in the Marathon, you need until June 14, 2016 to develop an application under Windows OS that uses 10 finger gestures. The application must be created in Lenovo YOGA Home. It can be educational or entertaining, and it should create an environment for sharing multiple users. The winner will receive $ 10,000 and will be able to meet with Lenovo's business development professionals and discuss promotion opportunities.

Start experimenting with MUMT right now at multitouch.devpost.com . Until victory - just a few gestures!
