-What’s a MTmini?-
————————————-
Don’t have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).
-How’s it Work?-
————————————-
For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).
When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they move on the surface.
It’s important to try different lighting setups and to configure the software in order to get the best results.

tension between humans is not an issue of what people say. It’s inherent to what they are.
It gets very, very old my friend. Tolerance is something that lasts for the first 6000 times you are insulted. Do you know something? I personally know someone who nearly committed suicide because the climate of the world is so unfriendly to us. Many religions teach that we should be killed, just for existing. So, 80% of the world wants us dead on principle, and 20% walk about tossing slights and hatred. BUT FOR WHAT?! Admittedly, this guy’s one was small, but it adds up my friend.
Wow, just look at how tolerant and progressive you are!
yes, you need the mouse software. You can find it with the rest of the software in the description. No mouse is involved.
yep he had a mouse
fine. it’s like a ttly lame song then.
Idiot. That song is a man singing about a woman, and gay is not synonymous with stupid. That kind of flippant homophobia drives me fking crazy.
Do you need a special software for the mouse bit or do you just use it?
So can you use this as a mouse?
Dude this really is one of the smartest things that I’ve seen.
awsome lamo
so fuckin cool. gay song though XD
does it work with plastic?
Nice video, if any one want to buy cheap ipod touch, go to buyanything4cheap(.)com

awesome Freaking video. but Its almost ruined by the Worst song ever created.
you could project an image onto a mirror, to a semitransparent piece of glass, and have a camera under it. There are plans to this method on instructables.
