Multitouch screen links of the day



  • DIY Multitouch - A bunch of links and info on various multitouch techniques.
  • Khronos Projector - Uses infrared + a stretchy lycra surface and detects the depressions on the surface.

I've also been toying with the idea of making a 'glove' with infrared lights in the finger tips. Ideally the LED's would light up as you press down on the screen, and would get brighter as you press harder. XBox controllers have pressure sensitive buttons in them - maybe I can cannibalize those parts and try something out.

Work continues on the software. I've got some ideas for applications I'd like to try. I'm in the middle of revamping my screen to add more LEDs and testing different screen surfaces / projection methods so I won't be able to test anything for the moment though.

cool, thanks for the link. Using a keychain light is an interesting idea, but I'd like to find something a little more compact (ideally I could do at least 2 fingers on each hand). Maybe I'll see if I can pick up some IR keychain lights off ebay for cheap.
