Multitouch table Bar application by Freshpatata - Reactivision Fiducials + Flash

Prototype of a rear DI multitouch table and multitouch application to use in bar tables.

Work and video by http://www.freshpatata.it.

Created in flash cs4 and action script 3 can recognise the drinks on the table thanks to the fiducials (images recognised by the software that is Reactivision).

All the infos in details and high resolution photos can be found here:

The setup:
Frosted glass - used as projection surface and touch interface
Sharp PG-B10S - Projector
Stardard Mirror
PS3 EYE webcam running at 640x480 30fps
48 IR LEDS - Specs. 850nm 140° 1.45V 50mA
48 IR LEDS - Specs. 850nm 60° 1.45V 50mA
The screen i obtained is more or less 46 x 36 cm but the camera could not see al the visible area..

Software used:
Reactivision - for both finger and fiducial recognition and tracking
FLOSC - to make reactivision interact with the flash swf file
Adobe Flash CS4 - for the visual interface
Adobe After Effects CS4 - for some visual effects

Song in the video:
Infinity - Guru Josh Project
Disco Strobe - Christian Marchi
In my Hearth - Rue du Soleil
Golden Lotus - Asiabeat
Say it right - Nelly Furtado

Hi. First I would like to say congratulations it looks awsome. Secondly I would like to ask. How did you learn how to use the reactivision software? I am really interested in it and have reacently download it. however I have no idea how or what I should know in order to use it.

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction by telling me what computer languages if any do you need to know in order to use it, and where can i find some info that might help me make table like thi...

freshpatata Wow! What a coincidence! Its me serch101. Until recently i had given up on my project as I found the whole thing kind of hard. Now I wanted to give it another try and I couldnt, for the life of me, remeber the name of this video or how to find it, as I really like it and I find it to be one of the best reactivision tables out there. I just want to thank you so much for even after such a long time you took the time to answer me. Thanks! Ill defenitly check the links out and try again.
