Hi, <br><br>I have been researching Multi-Touch for the past year as a Hobbyist, and I consider myself somewhat well versed in the technology:)<br><br>While that method would definately work, its obviously going to be cumbersom and not portable at all. I have been experimenting with a method of Multi-Touch that uses an array of Phototransistors, and I currently have a 8x8 Array working very well(3x3 Inch active sensing area, plenty to cover the FreeRunner's screen). Its only issue is speed, which is going to be fixed soon with my Digi-Key order that is on its way.<br>
<br>Mine obviously isn't perfect either, when I built it I had a more Laptop/Tablet shaped device in mind(just because the array is ~1/4 inch thick), but I do believe it will be easily adaptable.<br><br>Here is a link to my site where I have a video and explaination on an older test I did: <a href="http://www.xelapond.com/dotclear/index.php?post/2009/06/04/Code%2C-Schematics%2C-Diagrams">http://www.xelapond.com/dotclear/index.php?post/2009/06/04/Code%2C-Schematics%2C-Diagrams</a><br>
<br>And here is a picture of my newest version, 8x8 array: <a href="http://www.xelapond.com/files/r1-8x8-angle.jpg">http://www.xelapond.com/files/r1-8x8-angle.jpg</a><br><br>In the near future I plan on somehow interfacing this to the freerunner. I will probably have to separate the screen from the device, and place this behind it(so I can interact with elements on the screen).<br>
<br>I'm very passionate about Multi-Touch, if you do get anything with a
WiiMote working, be sure to post a link+vid:) I'd love to see it.<br><br>~Alex Teiche<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 4:56 AM, Lothar Behrens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lothar.behrens@lollisoft.de">lothar.behrens@lollisoft.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I have seen this video and due to a wide angle, a similar solution may<br>
be adaptable:<br>
