Cheap Touchpad made with a webcam

This is a way to build a cheap touch pad I found on the internet. The only things you need are a cardboard box, tape, paper, webcam, and the library files that can be found in the link below, light. Result may vary :P

@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...

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