Hey, great vid and comparison of the flash vs. processing, but if you wanna see true speed try the C++ version ;) memo.tv/ofxmsafluid (or for ultimate madness look for a gpgpu version!).

A few points about the velocity issue. CCV was outputting velocities as distance per frame, whereas I wrote the processing demo as expecting velocities per second so it's very sluggish. Seth probably wrote the flash demo as expecting velocties per frame, so it behaves nicely. In the processing demo, if you want the same behaviour, you'll need to modify the code to multiply the TUIO velocities by 60 (or whatever your tracker is running at). Although I believe the new CCV on the SVN is now sending velocities per second.

On a note regarding performance comparison, I don't think the flash demo has the same number of fluid cells (was it 40x40?) as the processing demo (was it 120x80?), so to compare the performance of the two demos would be unfair. But I must add that I am very impressed with the flash demo's performance anyway, it flies on my macbook pro and looks great, so great job Eugene!

Nice work on the video! I have got to know the name of the aphex twin track on this video and who did this particular version!

This version of MT. Saint Michel by Aphex Twin was done by Alarm Will Sound. They did a whole album of tracks from Aphex Twin, all orchestral. The first track is White Pixels by Sync24 off their Source album.
