Hey guys
First of all I would like to say how thankful I am and show my appreciation for all this community has done for me, I would especially like to thank Machinegun, Daniel D and fairlane.
So when i started I had 7 days to construct all of my table and the first 2 days we couldn’t get the materials required so a very awesome mate and I had to build a decent frame out of wood supplied-
We built it in two parts the base(pic 94) and the extension(pic 96).

after this we put in our components (pic 122)
so then we assembled the box after securing the components and started configuring
At these early stages we are having trouble deciding on the ccv settings and how to use them but we are still picking up fingers. (pic 130 includes a demo with some other students-in .zip with videos)
I must say that we have been experiencing some delay with our mouse mov ( by the way we have a hp 6530b laptop with win7 loaded on to it with a ps2 cam @30fps)
So i have included 2 videos one where we are happy with the tracking(mov 14) and annother one with delay.(sorry for the foul language in mov 15 there was a fight going on behind us)
Thanks Nui group.
(p.s If you have any advice or tips you are willing to share please post them so that we can improve our table in its early stages)
Regards
Tim

also
how may people can use the touch pack at a time( mostly regarding surface collage)
thanks

Hey Tim.
Looking good i hope i can post my table also very soon (LCD-LLP)…
Keep up the good work !!

PS. I don’t think all the pictures and video’s you named are in the Zip folder…

yeah they are attached to my post but thatnks man. Im sure yours will be awesome. Can wait to get funding to get new stuff- we bult this one for around $125 with out the projector so the next one will be perfect.
Tim

lookin good...share some more pics n info...like how is it responding....at different times...how much is it affected by sun,
do u need to caliberate it often ?

we move it alot because people love it and they want it in a particular spot. And yes lighting is very important for we dont have to use our 2 ir 36 led lights.
as you can see they are small but im not sure where to put them?
and we always calibrate every time we move but we cant pick up awesome blob tracking we only get decent tracking. any tips?
tim

awesome...what tips...it looks good,works fine...so experiment more n make it better...hehe

yeah i think that we are going to get a better projector, at least i hope we do.
not enough lumens :(
tim

Hey Tim, Looks good!
Can’t wait to see more vids of your table.
Your hard work has paid off…

congrats tim, where were you working with apps before building this table ? you have one already ?

hey guys
thanks for the replies
@ fairlane- thanks man , i must say that it was hard work but it was woth it
@vahid- yeah I have been with nui for ages but joined earlier this year so i have been working with the software making sure nothing can go wrong.
But im still not sure about microsofts surface collage app, does it only allow one user at a time?
Thanks all
Tim

Tim, you will need to ventilate that enclosure, if you havent already. Try to separate the projectors heat exhaust from the same air space that its drawing air from to cool the lamp housing.

we are going to add at least 3 big pc fans, but for now we will have to continue using a small portable fan

I see that a lot of people are already there !!! Nice work once again Tim, I can’t wait to see videos...!!!

yeah im currenty woking on it as we spaek
i am having trouble getting ccv settings right, the tables in near the windows but tracking is dodgy any ideas?

I should also mention that the projected image at the surface is showing up in ccv and does not allow us to use fingers in the specific areas/ boxes. We are not sure how to get rid of the shaddow that the projector causes the tinted acrylic to have, as you can see we dont have a defuser, is this our problem?
