Nasa World Wind Plugin

Hey everyone,

Has anyone seen this link: http://oldspeak.net/worldwind/

WorldWind Multitouch Plugin

This is a rudimentary, stub, C# WorldWind plugin which listens for multitouch input using the TUIO protocol, and interprets a basic set of finger gestures to control WorldWind. Supported gestures are single finger drag to spin the globe, pinch and spread to zoom, and two-finger rotate to roll the camera.

You’ll need:

* NASA WorldWind 1.4
* A working installation of touchlib or reacTIVision

I’ve been trying to get this Plugin for Nasa world wind to work but I keep getting this error message when I try and load it.

I’d love to get this plugin to work, as would a number of others.

Any thoughts?

can anybody help me, please?

configapp calibration inaccurate , is that only me?

2008-08-24T15:34:02Z

hey guyz,

i’ve finally got all the hardware to build my own multitouch screen

when I use the configapp and calibrate the touch-interface I make sure i’m accurate on the crosses, the calibration goes well but when i touch the screen after I’m done with the calibration the mouse arrows aren’t accurate, some of the spots are accurate but most of them got this constant offset

i’ve made sure the projector and the camera aren’t moving an inch, they’re located one above the other
I just can’t seem to make the calibration accurate,

anybody had the same problem? or perhaps got any idea for me?

any one can help me get this sowftware or something similar?

i would love a touchlib software that will recognize Camera’s and bluetooth cellphones just by pacing it on the screen and it will Auto extract all the photos on it and place it on the screen just like MS surface can some one help me?

Blob tracking on GPU

I seem to remember reading a while ago somewhere that someone was working on code that would make all the blob tracking being done on the graphics card. Has any progress been made in this area?

Touchlib: config.xml help

2008-08-21T21:20:50Z

I can’t seem to find any resources to help set camera settings in config.xml (resolution, frame rate, etc.)
I get perfect 30fps @ 640x480 in AmCap with my VX-6000, but only the exposure and color settings seem to remain in touchlib where it will only run at 15FPS.

I tried using DSLV capture but couldn’t get any video (just gray windows)
VFW also failed

If anyone knows where I can find some documentation on the various capture modes and their config.xml syntax I would be grateful.

FYI… my system:
Vista x64
Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.4ghz
AMD radeon 4870
MS VX-6000
