Well today in the testing stage of my interactive device i came by a bit of a problem, So this is how the story goes....
Well i have a multi touch sesnsor pad that im using as an interactive device in order to help the reader of our comic book take a look at the book in a way that offers a real experience (i.e click or pull to turn the page.
The tecnology is that there is a webcam lodged under a plastic / glass sheet and then covered by paper, So with the use of the camera special software ( Named Touchlib created by Seth Sandler and the nui group)
from the web cam it picks up a signal based ot the differential in light based on the touch registered by the user, this touch can be used as a mouse to control the screen or other facets or effects..
Something that i didnt know is that the camera we are using as a web cam( The PS3 Eyetoy) has a hidden capability, if it senses a shape in its range for an extended period of time it will then save an imprint of that shape in its background indefinitly until the camera is reset, Hence y i was able to convince the classmates in the room that there is a ghost that lingersaround the light box .....
Good stuff will put vid of sensor box in action below soon
