Through an architecture of commodity-level components and custom software, this high-resolution interactive display provides an effective means for collaborators to directly interact with their data and associated external applications and peripherals.
Future work will improve the table’s usability and expand the use of multi-touch technologies through more sophisticated gesture recognition, native integration with operating systems, and a continually increasing base of touch-enabled applications and APIs. This development builds on our experience with the Duke Multi-Touch Wall at the Duke RENCI Center. However, the table had several different requirement, the most important of which was portability. This table is designed to be broken down and moved from room to room (through a 32″ doorway), or transported for use in a different building. The Build. Back projection 56 inch multitouch television.
Basic Principle The principle is to modify a webcam to allow it to capture only IR light and point it to your screen. Then the software analyzes the images and detects press where there is a blob. A blob is the light projected back of your screen when you press onto it (Scattered Light on the schema). Multitouch technology grows at a lighting speed during those years. There are many different methods for sensing the touch on the screen.
As far as I know there's electronically and optically based setup. Iphone and Ipod touch are multitouch devices and use electronic circuit for sensing touches. Optical systems are the simplest to build for home users. Frustrated Total Internal Reflection When light encounters an interface to a medium with a lower index of refraction (e.g. glass to air), the light becomes refracted. Under "ordinary conditions" it is true that the creation of an evanescent wave does not affect the conservation of energy, i.e. the evanescent wave transmits zero net energy. Multitouch Media Application v2 Release | Multigesture.net. Last weekend I code a keyboard in actionscript and added it to the Multitouch Media Application.
At this moment you will only be able to type text into the yellow square. Due some bug in touchlib/TUIO the shift button won’t be released when you release the shift button physically. Use the shift_up button to ‘release’. - Have fun with thisone! *update 18-09-2007* Yesterdays release had some bugs on rotation (only the onscreenkeyboard and the notepad), v2a solves this issue. v2a now allows to rotate and scale the entire surface aswell.

Build Your Own Multitouch Surface Computer. It all started while we were researching an article on future user interfaces. Touch interfaces are hardly futuristic at this point, but multi-touch hardware like the Microsoft Surface or the iPhone is just starting to become a big deal, and we decided to see what big things are going on in that field. What we found that surprised us the most wasn’t anything about the future of multitouch; it was about something that people are doing right now. There is, it turns out, a whole community of very smart folks out there on the internet perfecting the art of building DIY multi-touch surfaces.
The process isn’t exactly simple, but the results we saw were stunning: multitouch surfaces with responsiveness rivaling Microsoft’s $12,000 offering, built in a garage on a shoestring budget. And so we did. First, some acknowledgments are in order. The Theory Before we can get into the actual, physical construction of the table, it’s important to understand just how it works.
