@MrLinkinboy This is a great question I unfortunately can't answer, you sould try to find it on the internet, google may help you.

how do u get the lights???

[Archels]

@joedajoester if it is about what I said at 0:26, I just meant putting enough light in the room to reduce shadows.. if you meant the light dots in the screen, its just about adjusting the contrast and parameter in the software package, but I did that about 2 years ago, I was not getting great results, and I needed the webcam back the day after, I dont remember much of this experiment...

I made this myself about 2 years ago, just for fun, but now I wonder how far is this compatible with Win7s interface

[tobby2468]

hi im sorry i wanna know what software is needed for it?

i have built my box with webcam inside then i clocked the link in the discription, i found a list of software dl links listed there, but i dunno wt to download and how to use it after download, can u plz help?

i will rate 5 * and sub!

[Archels]

yes but, its soooooo hard to calibrate, and i had problem like random mouse click everywhere...IF you try REALLY hard you could come with something precise...maybe..because as you see on other videos like this, some people got nice results ^^

[grandtheftauto1233]

to bad u couldnt emulate a touchscreen

[Archels]

what do you mean ?

[grandtheftauto1233]

like, make the computer think that the touchpad is a touch screen, and u could control the computer with it

[Archels]

I did, but its not precise, maybe my webcam dunno..

[grandtheftauto1233]

maybe its because the box is smaller then your moniters resolution, any, nice video, ill try it when i get home

[Archels]

thanks, and good luck with this ^^

[judasizm]

how could we do this? i mean what software did you use? this is very good solution

[Archels]

first of all, would you at least read video info... but i gotta say that this ting is really hard to calibrate and by the way, there are already better touchpad made in the same way. Its cool to make this just for fun anyway ;)
