Multitouch 1 Comment »

Tommorow the 3rd edition of IEEE Tabletop will take place in Amsterdam.

On the first day of the conference there will be a bootcamp on building your own multitouch surfaces.

At the bootcamp the ‘experts’ will share their knowledge and experiences on building multitouch surfaces. The following topics will be covered:

  • Infrared Illumination
  • Silicone & Projection surfaces
  • Cameras, Optics, Filters & Projectors
  • Software
  • Hardware Integration
  • Community & Network

I will be at one of the stands presenting the software part together with Ulrich von Zadow.

Hope to see you soon,
- Laurence
