How to Make a Cheap Multitouch Pad
Want to build a multitouch pad for $5-$50? Hummmm…. can it be done? YES!!! Below is a video on how to do it, followed by a link to the guys site where you can find the software to run it. All-in-all its really cool.
Don’t have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).
