using multi touch with games

[x2cube]

I saw a video on youtube of someone using a home-made multi touch setup, so I decided to build one myself.

All you need is the community core vision software: [url]http://ccv.nuigroup.com/[/url]
1 webcam, and a piece of white paper.

Really simple, so I adapted it to play video games too.

Here's a video of me using my multi touch setup to control counter-strike source [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRgXbZFnh2E[/media]

let me know what you think

Wait, you have a laptop with a state of the art glass multi touch trackpad and you instead opt for a hacked together cheap alternative?

haha, trust me I realize that. I plan to write some code up to try the trackpad out w/ half-life 2 once steam for mac comes out.

This webcam stuff is pretty impressive though. All you need is a webcam and a piece of paper and you can make a multi touch surface as big as you want. 5 minute set up time too.

I'm planning on expanding on this by designating hit areas on the surface to fire with, smooth everything out, and eventually i want to create a really big surface.

Draw some buttons on the paper and use it as keyboard :D

This looks interesting, to bad I don't have any glass tables.

Looks incredibly inefficient.
