Homebrew Multi-Touch Pad
This is my crappy version of those $10k touch screens that allow multiple inputs. The software I used was TouchLib, and I followed several tutorials from Instructables.com. A big thanks goes out to cerupcat for this ingenious yet cheap and simple implementation.
- Parts needed:
- A webcam with high FPS.
- A small to medium size box.
- A piece of blank paper.
- A sturdy piece of flat and clear material.
- Scotch tape.
- Soft, even, and non-directional lighting (make sure you have multiple light sources to prevent hard shadows.)
Adding pictures and instructions soon.
Here’s the tutorials: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Cheap-Multitouch-Pad/ and http://ssandler.wordpress.com/mtmini/

If you need any assistance with creating your own multi-touch pad, leave me a comment, go to the TouchLib forums, or post a topic in the DesertBunker forums. If I have time and encouragement, I’ll make a step-by-step tutorial on crafting your own pad.
