FTIR

So I'm beginning a new project which should be fairly cool. It was my good friend Stephen who introduced me to the idea and got the ball rolling on the whole thing. The idea is based on FTIR, Frustrated Total Internal Reflection. What we're going to be doing with this technology is using it to make our very own multi-touch screen device.

Using NUI's (swedish college, not Maynoot) walkthrough on how to setup and build the apparatus. The software libraries have been provided and details on how to build, design and source the whole thing is all documented on their website.

It's looking to be a very interesting project and I hope to start taking pictures of it as soon as we get our components together and start working on it. Current start date is 2nd May 2009.
