Homemade multi-touch surface interface 16May08
Not to be outdone by the current rage surrounding the homemade Wii remote interactive white board comes a homemade multi-touch surface. A simple webcam, a box, a piece of glass and tracing paper allows you to interact with your Windows machine through a multi-touch interface. These interfaces are being developed by a number of companies, with Microsoft being one of them, and are being used by a number of cable news networks for displaying and interacting with the US Primaries election data. Materials, discussion and software can be found on the website of the undergraduate students blog who is working on the project.
