Multitouch Inspiration

All right...here begin my forays into the multi touch world. With inspiration from Bridger Maxwell's success (http://multitouch.fieryferret.com/), I decided that I too wanted to try to create a multi touch device, based upon Bridger's design. I began by reading all of Bridger's entries, of course, and then I began to look for the necessary parts (LCD screen, infrared camera from webcam, etc.), and I was able to find similar parts at several electronics stores such as best buy and radio shack. To ensure that my parts would work, I tried to find the same parts Bridger had used, and I did. You can find them at the following locations:

Acer® AL1916W 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/970373/AL1916W-Widescreen-LCD-Monitor-Black/

Logitech Quickcam Chat

Those are the two electronic devices needed to begin the project. I am going to do a little more research on the precise method of performing the various steps. Bridger provided a link to http://nuigroup.com , a valuable multi touch development forum. More updates along the way as I begin the project. (gone for 10 days on vacation, I'll start when I come back.)
