I don't know where this should be parked. But I'll try placing it in this section. If mod feels its inappropriate, you may kindly move or close it off.

Was walking past Petrosains today, saw some genius looking screen projecting incoming pedestrian. Screen does comes overlapped with square boxes and everytime you walk pass it, it will generate key tunes. Somewhat it looks just like a ps2 eye toy. Well after that i remember stumble across something like this cheap mod. Guess everyone wants try making a multitouch screen or pad to control the PC. heres a quick DIY.



This is just some basic design, I've seen modders gone beyond the barrier. you can google for NUI groups.

have fun modding.

Similar to Iphone. If you can project the screen on the perspect, then its a complete touch screen with finger recognition.

Touchlib is one of the software you can download and try for yourself. But firstly, your webcam must have IR to be able to do that.

Here's the link to touchlib http://nuigroup.com/touchlib/
