Reach out and touch your PowerPoint - pptPlex updated, says hello to PowerPoint 2010 and Windows 7 Multitouch

Microsoft Office Labs - pptPlex now supports PowerPoint 2010!

“Today we posted an update to pptPlex that has two changes:  it now works with PowerPoint 2010 and supports multi-touch in Windows 7!

Even though we officially stopped working on pptPlex quite a while ago, you've probably noticed that we still play with it in our free time (for example, controlling presentations with a Wii controller and a 3D camera).  We noticed that pptPlex wasn't working with PowerPoint 2010, so we took some time to get it working with the latest version of PowerPoint.

Today’s update fixes a few compatibility bugs with PowerPoint 2010, but it also includes an important user experience change with regard to sections.

Multi-touch in Windows 7

The second major change in today's update is support for multi-touch in Windows 7.  If you are running Windows 7 on a computer that supports multi-touch, pptPlex will support several gestures when presenting, including:

                Pinch to zoom

                Swipe to go to next/previous slide

                Tap to zoom

                Two-fingered tap to zoom out

…

…”

Cool…
