This is a very short post compared to the ones that I write normally.Anyway, I was looking around to find how I can achieve the great results that AlexP got in his laser multitouch. I really suggest you to read that link, Alex method is really cool!So, basically I was guessing where I could find a suitable infrared laser to use for generating a very thin flat plane of infrared light just in front of the multitouch screen.Googlin' around I found that the laser included in the DVD player/burner is not good as it is a visible red laser of...
Look at this, isn't it wonderful?!?! Yessss!!! It looks very very nice!Anyway, of course it is still to be completed, I need to prepare all the braces for the circuit boards, the bracket for the webcam and, of course the infrared setup and the front mask.So, let's start with this second part of the construction notes! After bending all the parts, I had to refine them because, as I said, I abounded with measures because I was not knowing how much material I would loose with the bend. In this phase I discovered how useful is the circular saw for...
As you surely remember, three weeks ago I posted about my first test with an LCD panel for multitouch applications. I saw that it had enough chances to work out but I was so scared about the fact that the bare LCD panel is extremely delicate. So, as I was saying at the end of the post, I started to think, then work, to a case for this multitouch display.Of course I thought about a case that should also look nicely, what's better than a plexiglas one? So, after some weekends of work, this is how the case is looking...
Quite a long time has passed since I did something more for my multitouch display. My last post on this topic was on November!Unfortunately I did not any progress basically because I don't own a projector, so, everytime I should ask to someone to lend me a projector then I have limited time to do some tests with it. This is not exactly comfortable especially because I have very limited spare time and quite never in consecutive days.So, in the last months, I was thinking more often that it would be nice to achieve the goal to use an LCD...
