Prototypes are cool, but I think this is dead.
Anything that requires tons of visual calibration is serious work. Both for the programmer and the computer.
It worked for a planned demonstration, but I imagine this would be impossible for Mass production. And I wonder if the users found it useful due to latency and accuracy problems.
- snazz 7y agoI don’t think it was intended for mass production, and that’s okay. It’s a really cool and impressive hack.
- duxup 7y agoI think you may be approaching it differently than the creators are. They hacked something cool together, I suspect that is the point, and it is awesome. This isn't a product.
- Liquix 7y agoThe authors didn't publish thinking "this is going to rock the world, it's ready for mass production"... More along the lines "hey fellow hackers, we found a way to emulate a touch screen at 1% of the price".
- ideasRgood 7y agoBut if the latency and accuracy isn't great, did they solve anything?
- empath75 7y agoThey weren't trying to solve anything. They wanted to see if they could make it work, and they did.
- MiroF 7y agoYes, they figured out a way to get something similar for 1% of the price.

- IceWreck 7y agoThis is a hackathon project, the aim is to make something fun and sorta useful and this is exactly that.
