More touchscreen progress

Here's some more examples of interactive table goodness (thanks Futnuh). We now have directshow video capture working, thanks to Hebnern. I had Futnuh's interactive smoke demo running on my table yesterday (pics forthcoming) and it was sweet. It's fun to aim two smoke blobs at each other and watch them collide. The biggest issue I have to overcome is finding a way to make the surface more sensitive. More LED's, better optics, and different 'compliant surface' set ups are things to try. I'll be testing out some more things soon, and hopefully getting a chance to work on some demos of my own. I've learned a lot putting this first prototype together so hopefully my next one will be even better.

try mounting leds at an angle , to that the light bounces around inside more , if you try this with a few red ones you will see what i mean

My leds are all at slightly different angles since I sanded them a little funny - I'll try it though with my next prototype. I'm gonna add a lot more LED's. My current prototype has 14, but I'll probably double that. I'm also gonna try some other surfaces.
