DIY Multitouch display: first test

Checkout www.diniro.net
This is a short clip of the first test of my DYI multitouch display. There’s still an offset beetween the finger touch points and the detected touch points, this is due to the very unstable setup and the lack of SW calibration. The display will be improved also with a compliant surface that will require to press less hard on the display in order to detect touches.

Wow, congratulations, I watched some videos of Jeff Han (Perceptive pixel), and some of Microsoft Surface.
And you did it, impressive.

Now I have some questions:
1- How expensive is your setup?

Thanks

Thanks a lot!

Actually I paid €25 for the plexiglas, €16 for the LEDs and €230 for the webcam with some different optics, but quite any webcam will work (saving a lot of money!). The projection surface sample was kindly offered by Peroni, the video projector was not mine :o). The OS was WinXP but I’ll switch soon to Linux. You’ll find all the answer you need to build one on NUIgroup site, of course check also my site!
