As a member of the Virage consortium, Stantum, the well known company behind the JazzMutant Lemur multitouch controller, is involved in CopperLan's development.

Teaming up with their academic counterparts, they all have been intensive users of MAX/MSP for a long time. For the benefit of the Virage project, they found good reasons to bring CopperLan in the equation.

The resulting hybrid is currently called CopperMAX. It is a satellite module that makes a MAX/MSP environment networked via CopperLan. What the release version will include and how it will be offered to the public is not finalized yet, but it is already alive and running.
Stay tuned for more info.
