But, In our case we need to use a lens with a shorter focal length than the one provided with the PS3, so some extra hacking is in order. The EyeWriter 2.0. The EyeWriter is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus + custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis to draw using only their eyes.

The original design, as shown here, featured a pair of glasses as the basis for the eyewriter design: Since that first video, we've been hacking on and developing the project, and we have a new design, which we've called "eyewriter 2.0" which improves the accuracy of the device, and allow for people who's heads are moving slightly to also use an eye tracker. The original eyewriter, designed for a paralyzed Graffiti artist TEMPT1, is designed to be worn on a completely motionless head. The 2.0 design, which uses a camera and LED system mounted away from the head, can be used by people whose heads are moving slightly, such as MS patients, and people who wear glasses, etc.

This eyewriter system is cheap, and completely open source. The EyeWriter 2.0. Hacking Sony PS3 Eye Camera on Behance. How to build a Multi-Touch surface. The most important acrylic layer is the EndLighten acrylic.

This layer is the one responsible for redirecting the IR light from its sides out the top and bottom surfaces of the acrylic. Therefore it is necessary to polish the edges of this layer in order to maximize the amount of IR light that can be injected into it. If it is possible, I recommend laser cutting the EndLighten layer since that will automatically polish the edge to perfection. If a laser cutter is not an option, then automotive sandpaper will do the trick. Start with 600 grit (lower if the saw cut is rough) and sand each edge until they are perfectly smooth. You do not need to polish the other two layers, and I actually recommend that they remain rough that way no IR light can shine into them. How To Build An Optical Multitouch Setup: FTIR, Rear DI, LLP, DSI, LED-LP (VIDEO TUTORIALS) So you may have seen tons of people making their own Multitouch tables and you just couldn't figure out everything you need to do to build one successfully... well, here is the Instructable you've been looking for.

This small project was a long time coming. I wanted to create a box that could be easily changed into whatever optical multitouch technique I wanted. The 5 major techniques are FTIR, Rear DI, DSI, LLP, and LED-LP. The box was a simple 5 sided box constructed out of MDF. It has one of my favorite projectors in it, Toshiba’s ultra short throw TDP-EW25U (discontinued).
