Touch Table Success.

I have had the parts and pieces for this in my garage for the last 2 years.  Finally made the time to put everything back together and get it running.  This is a 42" LCD with a camera based multitouch (80 point) system designed by SMART Technologies.

I have installed a variety of applications with mixed success.  So far the apps that work best are:

  1. BumpTop (A 3D multitouch desktop replacement bought by google)
  2. Civilization V
  3. Bejeweled 3
  4. Microsoft Touch Pack
    1. Blackboard
    2. Garden Pond
    3. Rebound
    4. Surface Collage
    5. Surface Globe
    6. Surface Lagoon
  5. Snowflake Touch Pack
  6. World of Goo

I plan to write an app that shows the DVD covers of the movies on my server in 3d, waving my hand from left to right will move the movie cover arch forward and backward.  The DVD in the middle (selected) would appear larger, double click would zoom in, flip the cover and show the back, a quick hand motion tossing the cover toward the TV would cause the TV to turn on and the movie to play.
