How to build a (camera tracking) multi-touch
Posted July 11th 2006 under Multi-touch, Processing, Surfaces
Ok my last multi-touch post for a while. Jens Wunderling, a student of digital media class UDK Berlin, had also been creating a multi-touch surface for a community noticeboard project.
Jens began his project quite some time ago, but has had to put it on hold to complete other university work. The whole process has been documented on his blog, from buying the right cameras, hooking up the infrared LEDs and vision tracking software.
Whilst there are no examples of interaction techniques, the technology works and Jens has provided all Processing source code, Eyesweb and VVVV patches. If anyone else out there is working on multi-touch interaction, let me know.

Hi trying to make a free-space motion tracking interface. Tools so far vvvv
and OpenCV.
Succeded in motion detection [good for generating toggles] but no motion tracking yet.
