Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog Multitouch Table by GreenerBusiness May 16, 2009 at 2:01 pm   Seems like these multitouch tables are showing up everywhere. This one is done with a cute video that brightens up the build process. Best of all these old projectors are being thrown out in favor of the smaller, higher resolution and more portable versions. Thanks Ravi "The image processing software analyzes inferred light from the web camera and treats any light detected as a separate input source. Then this software sends the data to any other applications that have the ability to use the input (like a google maps plug-in). The multitouch table simply acts as a device that sends out IR light beams, so when a fingertip incepts them it appears as if the fingertips are producing Inferred light." Puppy Pulling Power Experiment May 16, 2009 at 11:45 am     Technology is helping this guy find a girl. He rigged up a camera that detects smiles and takes a picture. Armed with tons of dogs he hit the street. They made some videos of the process which are quite funny. You can watch the entire process here on Youtube. "With a bunch of puppies and a phone that automatically takes a photo when a girl smiles at it, I’m going to do a test to find out, once and for all, which breed will give a guy the most puppy pulling power."
