TouchRotary

I started to write this application as a joke but I kind of like it

Here it is in all it’s glory:

It’s actually a working VOIP phone. Sorry my table’s calibration is way off.

And the music is the intro to ‘I can’t dance’ by Genesis some sort of live album.

POP!mt - A Multi-touch Bubble Wrap Game

2008-09-03T01:29:31-05:00

Hi guys,

POP!mt is a Multi-player Bubble wrap game for 2-4 Players. The aim is to pop all your bubbles before the other players do.
The first player to do so will be prompted with a “Player x Wins” screen (see below screenshots)
Pressing Reset clears the canvas of pressed bubbles and starts the game again.

I got the idea to make this game from this post http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/2674/ and also flash Bubble Wrap game that I’d play to “de-stress” at work. After seeing the above post and the request for Multi-touch from Nuiman, I thought “How hard can that be?” and that’s when POP!mt was born

At this stage the game uses Mark’s Touch library (as I want to make my own ) which can be found here: http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/2001/

I’ve added some screen shots of the game and a Beta version for whoever wants to give it a go. Feedback is welcomed

There is also a quick video on MyYouTube (which you can find by clicking on the signature below) showing the very first version in action.

Enjoy!

SimTouch - Another TUIO simulator

2008-08-03T12:20:14-05:00

SimTouch is another TUIO simulator build using the Adobe Air run-time. The core benefit to using SimTouch is the transparent background allowing the application developer to have a better grasp of what he/she is ‘touching’.

Here is a video:

And a few screen shots:

Here is the link to the project: SimTouch

I haven’t figured out how to use FLOSC to transmit the touch events. I’m currently using a C++ project from this location:

Annoying Flash problem…

2008-09-01T13:35:27-05:00

I’ve made a table-top system using reactivision and Flash. I have some if statements in AS3 to tell Flash to gotoAndStop at a particular frame when the fiducial is at a particular location on the table’s surface.

This frame has text and several videos that play simultaneously.

Here’s a example:

if (id == 8)
{
     if (x < 100 & x > 90)
     {
            gotoAndStop("home");
     }
}

Where id is the fiducial id and x is the fiducial’s x coordinate.

My problem is that Flash shows this frame (and it’s text) but the videos don’t play until I remove the fiducial from the camera’s view. I think this is because reactivision might be seeing very small changes in the fiducial’s position (even though the fiducial is still, it seems to be looping through the if statement again and again and not giving the videos a chance to play until I remove the fiducial).

I’ve run out of ideas. I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do (in the code or otherwise) to help.

Any suggestions would be great

Touchlib rotate scale bug

2008-06-08T18:52:29-05:00

I’ve seen this bug everywhere and I realised that my AS3 classes didn’t have the bug that means the object doesn’t rotate and scale around the correct point.

Panoramas on MT?

2008-08-28T11:08:26-05:00

Hi all

Anyone know of anyone who has successfully used a panorama viewer on their surface?

I’m trying to do it with PapervisionQTVR and Touchlib/TUIO.

Seems there is more to it than meets the eye where dragging and rotating is concerned in 3D. I might have to ask some guy called Ray Casting
