Breyn: multi-user multi-touch brainstorming

Here is what appears to be a design course prototype for a multi-user brainstorming tool.

Key features to watch for:

• Triangular toolkit object - drag or touch one of three corners to set the nexus for an action such as typing text


• Multiple toolkit object, one for each user (maybe color-coded) - allows different users to select different tools and perform different tasks at the same time


• Virtual keyboards - appears to be bound to specific triangle objects


• One tool creates a box, then drag the text tool into the box to enter text


• Draw lines from one box to another to connect them hierarchically


• Box orientation indicates ownership


• Extra long circular text (group ownership?) is spiraled


• There's some mechanism (unseen) to rotate all the boxes to the next side

This is a great example of a collaborative approach to multi-touch. Many users can do individual tasks towards a common goal.
