Stuff..
Been a long time since I posted anything so I'll summarize a bit.
I'm still horribly addicted to TF2 - I'm hoping that I will start to get sick of it soon, but so far it hasn't happened yet. The last time I was this into an online game was Quake2 and that was nearly 10 years ago. Stay away from it!
We had our open house at my workplace - my multitouch table was on display and it was a pretty big hit. I've since added a second 144 LED IR illuminator to the table to help get a more even IR distribution. The table works and is very sensitive even in daylight (there's a window next to the table). Plus I can leave it on all day without having to recalibrate or otherwise mess with it. I'll try to post some pics..
I picked up a usb-bluetooth PC adaptor yesterday. I'll probably try messing with some Wii-mote stuff at some point. A Wiimote -> OSC application should be pretty easy to make.
I also managed to get 1 or 2 things done on Genome though I am still trying to get back into the swing of it. It's a large project with a long list of todo's which can make getting started discouraging. Before, I was able to meet my goal of doing one thing on it every morning (working for like 1/2 an hour).

I'm glad to see a comment on looking into adding WiiMote support. Using Johnny lee's technique with the IR pen for Multitouch, I've been somewhat able to apply that to the current Touchlib with a camera... but if you could make it possible with the Wiimote it would be even more accurate IMO.

Might be a good start for the OSC concept... In theory the AS3 apps should nearly work with their server.. but not sure how close they followed TUIO if any.
cant wait till I get my wiimote and start testing :)
Hi. I'm trying to illuminate my DI multitouch table but it's very dificult. I can't eliminate the hotspots and get an even illumination. Could you post some pics from your configuration? thanks.
The best way I've found is to put the projection screen (diffuser) on the bottom of your acrylic.
