My camera is a Xbox Live Vision 360 (USB) running at 320x240 @60fps, and my PC is an AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 3600+ with 2GHz RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7600gt Graphics Card. Sharp PG-M15S projector, Frosted Glass as diffuser/projection/surface. The CPU plays a big role, but also the sensitivity of the camera helps. Just adding/removing some of the exposed negatives changed the sensitivity dramatically. Also when I was testing the screen, I used baking paper as a projection screen/diffuser under the glass sheet with ok results. Now that I have frosted glass, the response is much better.

Hi Fairlane

I’ve been watching you guys especially your great work with DI for a while. now I’ve decided to built one DI for myself too
I consider myself lucky coz i am in Melbourne, northern suburbs to be precise. So i can ask where you get stuff from

I have couple of questions:

First of all i am a total newbie on this topic.

Where did you get the frosted glass? Was it from a local shop or you made it yourself. I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200228660297&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010

Would something like this work if I stick that on a glass?

Also, do you know any place i can get IR illuminators cheaply? would something like this work?
