Oke, hi everybody. Sorry for my bad english, cause im from the Netherlands.

It looks very funny to have multi-touch intervace on my computer, but how do i get it working? I found some movies on youtube. But those screens are made boxes, and i want to make the final verson out of MDF.

Now some questions:
- I have a Trust Spacec@m 320 which i bought in 2000. Does every webcam work with your app?
- For what is the plexi plate used? Just to hold the paper when i make som pressure?
- Can my box be a little more flipped?? Like this:

Hey blackwhizz, if you are refering to MTmini, then you can use pretty much any webcam, but a webcame with a higher frame rate and more resolution will work better. However if you want to build a full multitouch using a projector or LCD, then i would suggest getting a webcam that people have used before in their projects, since they have been tested out and know it works. Yes you are correct the plexiglass is used just to support the weight of the preasure you apply on the paper.
Yes you can have a box such as long as your camera can see the whole screen. you will need to calibrate touchlib for your angles style setup.

Hope it helps
Taha
