Touchtable prototype

Working on a touchtable prototype and trying different types of materials, leds, lasers etc.. to get a sharp and bright image from the camera. In the next couple of weeks we look which elelctronics we need to get the best result. Some thoughts go to creating a touch interface witouth a camera so one can use a glass-like plate as input device for all different kinds of things. Maybe to control other ambient intelligent furniture.

Create a IR webcam (Dutch)
Touch LCD using FTIR
IR LED@farnell, 44 degrees
IR receiver 38KHZ
360 multitouch
Markers
Multi touch blogs + gluPartialDisc!!
IR lasers
Laser based multi touch
Multi touch music applications

Part list (still checking)
● Sony PS3 Eye Toy camera
● IR band pass filter; need to check which wavelength
● RGB LEDs (bright)
● Some optocouplers with related parts (will specify later)
● Maybe 4x a 780n 25mw IR lasers
● Some AVR chips
