DIY Multitouch display: silicone rubber layer how-to video

[pmleffers]

Couldn't you just sandwich the silicone between 2 sheets of plexiglass??

[suckersweeper]

can anyone let me know why exactly you apply that layer?

[CeekayProductions1]

You need too apply the silicone rubber to reflect the IR light.

[severgonzalez]

The layer is needed if you use a projection screen. Otherwise the blobs won't be detected.

Hi there ,

thanks for thees information .

can I use normal Glass insted Plexiglas ?

thank you

[maidenhorde]

Yes you can but surface & sides must be clean n clear. You can use Acrylic Sheet. That is best for this project n also recommend.

cashwise - I would like to try this by using a tube of silicone but it is too thick - is there any way I can make silicone more watery so that I can spread it around??

[teothedemon]

How did you make a multitouch display from this "silicone rubber layer"?

[blaxwan]

you'll find a lot of informations about this on my website

[jimmmesch]

Thanks, but somehow your website doesn´t work on my computer.

[blaxwan]

Wow, that's strange, would you be so gentle to describe me better the issue with the website so I can try to fix it? Please email me, you'll find the address in the about page, thank you!

[SpringCleric]

[HolguinOntario]

[alllordgp]

[standolfo]

Excuse my ignorance, but now what you do with this?? I have no clue! Thanx !

[metallion25]

sell it to HP !! :D:D lol

[Didanix]

I still don't understand the idea of applying a rubber surface, as aren't you supposed to apply a sketch/tracing paper on top of the plexiglass?

[blaxwan]

the problem comes from the use of a rear projection film on the acrylic because they do not couple well, so the rubber is used to improve the coupling of those materials

[marcustrivian]

Great Video dude!!!

Shame I don't know how to buy those stuff here in Brasil though!

[blaxwan]

Thanks marcustrivian,

I can suggest you to take a look at the compliant surface section of the NUI Group forum, probably you'll find someone near you that already solved this issue!

[cerupcat]

Yeah, very nice video!

[naturaluserinterface]

[blaxwan]

It took some time to edit but it's always a pleasure to see that it is appreciated (and hopefully useful)!
