Multitouch display, build your own: a compliant surface with a silicone rubber layer

Finally I arranged to prepare a silicone rubber layer to use in the multitouch display. I will use it to improve the coupling beetween the plexiglass and the rear projection film so that the display will be more sensible to finger touches and will require no more hard pressing to detect touches, yes, it is also an hope!

If you're trying to do the same don't worry! I video recorded the whole process and I will post a video as soon as I'll have enough time to edit and shorten it because actually it is 50 minutes long!

Ok, I still don't know exactly which are the results but I can say that it was really more simple than I was supposing, and this could be a good news too. The silicone rubber needs at least 12 hours to cure completely, so, since tomorrow I'll be at work at least until 6:00 p.m., I will know the results tomorrow evening, hoping that I didn't wasted the 40 euros (yes, silicone rubber is not that cheap).

In the rest of the week I should be able to complete and assemble the frame for the display so, luckily this weekend I'll be testing this new element and preparing the video of the silicone rubber layer preparation.
Stay tuned!
