Remember Jeff Han in 2006 during his TED talk on multitouch sensing? (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jeff_han_demos_his_breakthrough_touchscreen.html) His innovations have become standard, and his company Perceptive Pixel just won the 2009 National Design Award from the Smithsonian Institution's Cooper-Hewitt Museum. However, he is not the first... Bill Buxton in the 80's was already experimenting with multitouch before the technology became massively accessible. Ironically enough, he now works in Microsoft Research to improve their design vision. But of course, Buxton wasn't the first either. For a more comprehensive view check out the overview Multitouch Systems that I have Known and Loved.
