2014-2015-WiSe-15PP-PW-DIY-Multitouch

DIY (Multi) Touch (less) Human Computer Interaction (Projektwochen)

An open-ended exploration of touch, multitouch, computervision- and capacitive systems. In the foreground is an effective but low-cost implementation that can be ported to other projects, no material battle. Depending on the amount of participants one of the technologies mentioned is researched in groups, prototyped and applied. The aim is an exhibition at the end of the project weeks.

###Hardware:

####Cameras

#####PS3 Eye Camera

Inexpensive - 9€ aprox. Check here
High Resolution/Frame Rate - 320x240 resolution 125fps max, 640x480 resolution 75fps
Best camera for building optical MT tracking systems because of its amazing camera sensor and ease of modification.

We expirenced some issues using the PSEye3 camera with Processing under Mac OSX. Mountain Lion seems not to work at all.

To use the camera with Mac OSX 10.9.4 you need to use Processing 1.5.1 or 2.0.3 which you can download here.
Install Mac OSX: macam driver
and a hacky solution for Mountain Lion (did not work yet).
Windows driver

Trackmate (MIT) is an inexpensive, do-it-yourself tangible tracking system that allows your computer to recognize tagged objects and their corresponding position, rotation, and color information when placed on a surface. Trackmate sends all object data viaLusidOSC (a protocol layer for unique spatial input devices), allowing any LusidOSC-based application to work with the system.
