I'm designing a 42" widescreen 16:9 touch screen interface. What resolution should I create my prototype in, what's a good resource site I should look into.
Regarding the resolution; I guess you're best of finding out what the hardware you're designing for runs as a native resolution and use that as a starting point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution might be of some help.
When designing for touch-screen kiosks (for travel applications), I found the following publications useful:
Maguire M. C. (1999) A review of user-interface design guidelines for public information kiosk systems, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 50, 263-286
O’Hara J. M., Brown W. S., Lewis P. M. & Persensky J. J. (2002) Human-System Interface Design Review Guidelines (NUREG-0700, Rev. 2), Washington: US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Department of Defense (1999) Department of Defense Design Criteria Standard: Human Engineering (MIL-STD-1472F), Washington: Department of Defense
Waloszek G. (2000) Interaction Design Guide for Touchscreen Applications, SAP
Meriaux A. (2000) Guidelines for information systems (Infopolis 2 Deliverable 2)

I recommend you to take a look at world's first multitouch website - http://www.silverpac.com/multitouch/
Currently it seems that website is not accessible however you can view video here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFB357TY9k0
Above website is a kind of rich internet applications
Hope above reference will help you out.
